EnableComp, a leader in Complex Revenue Cycle Management, announced today it has been ranked #1 by Black Book Research in Complex Claims and AR Recovery Services for the third year in a row.
Black Book released the 2026 rankings at HFMA AC26. The findings come from its annual State of Health & Hospital Systems Revenue Cycle Management Technology & Services report, which covers 49 hospital RCM categories.
Black Book updated its 2026 category structure, but the territory and winner remain the same. EnableComp was ranked #1 in 2024 and 2025 under Black Book’s previous Specialty RCM for Complex Claims and Revenue Integrity category and now holds the top ranking in the updated Complex Claims and AR Recovery Services category.
The recognition reflects growing urgency among financial leaders: in a separate HFMA AC26 survey, Black Book reported that 81% of respondents identified payer friction response, denial prevention, prior authorization, or cash acceleration as among their top investment priorities.
“Complex claims are not standard RCM work, and hospitals cannot afford to treat them that way,” said Frank Forte, CEO of EnableComp. “Payers are getting more aggressive, cash is under pressure, and the cost of getting these wrong keeps rising. Earning this recognition three years in a row shows that providers continue to value the specialization and performance needed to recover revenue in the hardest parts of the revenue cycle.”
