EnableComp Acquires Helix Advisory to Expand AI Zero Balance Reviews
Complex revenue cycle management (RCM) leader EnableComp has acquired Cincinnati-based revenue recovery firm Helix Advisory, according to HIT Consultant. The deal expands EnableComp's Zero Balance Review capabilities by integrating underpayment recovery directly into its e360 RCM platform, which is used for complex claims and denials.
Helix's technology adds adaptive underpayment detection that scans all zero-balance claims regardless of size, clinical signal detection that cross-references documentation and coding against payer reimbursements, and root-cause analytics to prevent future losses. This replaces traditional rules-based audit logic with pattern-recognition algorithms.
EnableComp supports over 1,000 hospitals and recovers approximately $3 billion annually. Early deployments of Helix's technology reportedly yielded net revenue improvements exceeding 2% on previously unrecognized or written-off revenue. Helix founder Zack Higbie joins EnableComp as Vice President of Revenue Recovery Products, with backing from private equity firm Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe.
