Access Healthcare

Access Healthcare formed in 2011 when leaders of Vision Healthsource, a revenue-cycle business sold to Dell Services, launched a new company alongside Ross Perot Jr. and former Perot Systems executives. The firm inherited deep operational knowledge from building large-scale healthcare business process services, and its private ownership structure keeps strategic control with operators who have managed hundreds of provider relationships. The wealth origin is tied directly to the Dell Services acquisition proceeds and the Perot family’s technology-services legacy. The firm processes more than 400 million transactions per year covering 80-plus medical specialties, with claims management exceeding $120 billion annually. Its investment and operational posture spans end-to-end revenue cycle management—medical coding, billing, accounts receivable, and denial management—for hospitals, physician groups, dental providers, and health plans. Access Healthcare blends in-house automation (the echo platform and arc.in workflow tools) with a 30,000-plus professional workforce. Deployment is global: delivery centers operate across nine cities in India, the Philippines, and the United States, supporting over 500,000 physicians. The firm executes directly rather than through a fund structure, operating as a privately held strategic acquirer and builder of healthcare administrative technology. The company employs more than 30,000 revenue cycle professionals and runs 20 global delivery centers. Adjacent to its core operations, Access Healthcare maintains a corporate social responsibility program—AccessGiving—that funds school adoption, hunger elimination, disaster relief, and environmental initiatives near its office communities. May 2024: The firm announced a strategic investment from New Mountain Capital, intended to accelerate technology development and market expansion (per the firm, May 2024). This capital infusion preserved the firm’s private operating posture while adding a large-scale healthcare-focused private equity partner. Unlike a traditional outsourcer, Access Healthcare built its own proprietary automation ecosystem, echo, which functions as the firm’s structural moat. The platform was practitioner-developed inside the revenue cycle business—not licensed from a third-party vendor—giving the company an integrated technology-and-labor model that competitors cannot easily replicate. The New Mountain Capital partnership reinforces this architecture by funding next-generation AI capabilities while the founding team retains operational control, creating a hybrid investor-operator structure rare in healthcare services.
