Introducing RCM Academy

Revenue Cycle Management is one of the most important — and least understood — functions in healthcare.

Every claim, every credential, every denial, every payer contract flows through RCM. And yet, there is no Duolingo for it. No Coursera. No focused, interactive platform that teaches RCM the way it actually works in the real world.

That is what we are building.

What Is RCM Academy?

RCM Academy is a mobile learning platform that teaches Revenue Cycle Management through interactive lessons, quizzes, and simulations.

It is not a textbook. It is not a video course. It is a hands-on learning experience designed for people who need to actually do the work — not just pass an exam.

The platform covers:

  • Credentialing — provider verification, NCQA standards, re-credentialing cycles
  • Provider Enrollment — Medicare, Medicaid, commercial payer networks, CAQH
  • Medical Billing — CMS-1500, UB-04, clearinghouses, claim scrubbing
  • Medical Coding — ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, compliance auditing
  • Revenue Cycle — front-end intake, mid-cycle CDI, back-end AR analytics

Why We Built This

Marth Systems has real-world RCM expertise. We have worked with billing companies, credentialing teams, and healthcare practices. We know the gaps between what textbooks teach and what the job actually requires.

RCM Academy bridges that gap.

Instead of generic healthcare content, every lesson is built on actual workflows:

  • What does a denial appeal really look like?
  • How do you navigate PECOS enrollment step by step?
  • What happens when a credentialing audit hits?

These are the scenarios we simulate.

How It Works

The learning experience follows a career path model:

  1. Choose a career path — 5 paths from beginner to advanced
  2. Work through courses — 4 courses per path, each with structured modules
  3. Complete lessons — interactive blocks with real-world scenarios
  4. Take quizzes — test knowledge after every module
  5. Run simulations — practice real RCM workflows in a safe environment
  6. Track progress — visual dashboards showing streak, completion, and mastery

Each career path is designed to take you from zero to job-ready:

| Career Path | Difficulty | Duration | Courses | |---|---|---|---| | Credentialing Specialist | Beginner | 12 weeks | 4 | | Provider Enrollment Specialist | Beginner | 14 weeks | 4 | | Medical Billing Specialist | Intermediate | 16 weeks | 4 | | Medical Coding Specialist | Intermediate | 18 weeks | 4 | | Revenue Cycle Specialist | Advanced | 20 weeks | 4 |

Who It Is For

  • Students entering healthcare administration
  • Medical billers deepening their expertise
  • Credentialing specialists mastering compliance
  • Practice managers optimizing revenue operations
  • RCM companies training new hires

Tech Stack

Built with the same engineering principles as every MS DevX product:

  • Flet for the mobile UI (Material Design 3, dark mode, responsive)
  • FastAPI backend with SQLModel and PostgreSQL
  • Streamlit admin panel for content management
  • Offline-first design with local SQLite cache

What's Next

RCM Academy is currently in Sprint 1. The mobile foundation is built — app shell, navigation, course catalog, lesson content engine, and progress tracking are all working.

Next up:

  • Authentication and user accounts
  • Database integration (Neon PostgreSQL)
  • Backend API deployment (Render)
  • Quiz and simulation engine
  • Google Play closed testing
