As Medicare cuts rates and tightens claim rules for January 1, the New York medical billing company explains what top medical billing outsourcing arrangements have in common, what they cost compared with in-house staff, and the signs that a practice is not ready to outsource.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Remitwright (https://remitwright.com), a US medical billing company serving independent practices, non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) providers and home care agencies, today published a plain-language guide to medical billing outsourcing for practice owners weighing the decision before the 2027 Medicare changes take effect.

Medical billing outsourcing means handing claim preparation, submission, payment posting and denial follow-up to an outside company rather than an in-house employee. It is one of the most searched questions in practice management and one of the least clearly answered, because most of the available information is written by companies selling the service.

“Outsourcing is the right call for a lot of practices and the wrong call for some, and a billing company should be willing to say which is which,” said Michael Wilson, Manager at Remitwright. “We would rather a practice read this, decide to keep billing in-house, and do it properly than sign with us for the wrong reasons.”

When medical billing outsourcing makes sense

The guide identifies four situations in which outsourced medical billing consistently outperforms an in-house arrangement:

1. One biller carries everything. In a practice where a single employee handles charge entry, claims, posting, denials and patient calls, every vacation, sick day or resignation stops cash flow. An outsourced team with assigned backup removes that single point of failure.

2. Denials are not being worked. If nobody can say how many claims were denied last month, why, and which were resubmitted, revenue is leaking. Dedicated denial management is the single largest difference between the top medical billing outsourcing arrangements and average ones.

3. The practice bills payers it does not understand. NEMT providers billing Medicaid brokers, home care agencies billing waiver programs and VA community care, and practices adding new specialties or states all face rulebooks that a generalist in-house biller rarely masters.

4. The owner is doing billing at night. When the clinician or owner is the one chasing claims after hours, the practice is paying its most expensive person to do its most repetitive task.

When it does not

The guide is equally direct about the opposite cases: a practice with a seasoned, well-supported billing team and clean key metrics has little to gain; a practice that wants to hand over billing and never look at it again will be disappointed by any vendor, because billing still depends on accurate documentation from the clinical side; and a practice that cannot name its monthly collections, denial rate and days in accounts receivable should measure those first, because without a baseline there is no way to judge whether outsourcing helped.

What to compare before signing

The guide lists the questions that separate top medical billing outsourcing companies from the rest: whether the practice gets a named, dedicated team or a shared pool; whether the company works inside the practice’s existing software or requires a switch; whether a sample weekly report is available before signing; how denials are categorized, resubmitted and appealed; whether pricing, contract length and exit terms are explained before the sales call; and whether a HIPAA business associate agreement is signed before any access is granted.

On cost

Medical billing outsourcing is typically priced as a percentage of collections, a flat monthly fee per dedicated biller, or a per-claim rate. The guide explains how each model works and which practice profiles each one favors, and notes that the right comparison is not the fee alone but the fee against the fully loaded cost of in-house staff, software, clearinghouse charges, training and turnover, plus the revenue currently lost to unworked denials and missed filing deadlines.

Why the timing matters

The Calendar Year 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule lowers the conversion factor by 2.31% and replaces the G2211 add-on code with new modifiers effective January 1, 2027, while the 2027 Home Health final rule expands Medicare enrollment scrutiny for agencies. Both reward practices that submit clean claims and work every denial, and penalize those that do not.

“The 2027 rules don’t change whether a practice should outsource,” Wilson said. “They change the cost of getting billing wrong, whoever is doing it.”

Remitwright provides outsourced medical billing through a dedicated billing team assigned to each client. The team works remotely inside the client’s existing EHR, practice management or dispatch software and reports weekly on every open claim. Practices can request a billing review at https://remitwright.com. No patient information is required to get started.

4U-Compatible Design Delivers High Performance for AI and High-Density Computing Applications

DENVER, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gates Industrial Corporation Ltd. (NYSE: GTES), a global manufacturer of highly engineered power transmission and fluid power solutions, today introduced Gates ThermalCool™ 2100SS Pump, expanding the company’s portfolio of liquid-cooling solutions for AI and high-density data center applications. The new stainless steel pump expands Gates participation across the data center cooling loop, adding a new, purpose-built active coolant circulation solution alongside its fluid conveyance and connection technologies.

Higher rack densities are changing where data center cooling equipment is located and how much space it can occupy. Rack-mounted coolant distribution units (CDUs) integrate coolant circulation within the IT rack, which puts tight size and integration demands on every component. Gates developed the ThermalCool 2100SS Pump to meet those demands, combining substantial output with a 4U-compatible design while combining substantial coolant flow with integrated active cooling for the motor. Delivered in a platform configurable for different CDU architectures, these capabilities position Gates to serve a wider range of data center coolant circulation applications including those with high ambient temperature operating conditions.

“As data centers pack more computing power into every rack, CDU manufacturers are facing infrastructure challenges that existing pumps weren’t designed for,” said Rebekah Headley, general manager of data centers at Gates. “We developed the ThermalCool 2100SS Pump in response to requirements from a leading CDU manufacturer, working as an engineering partner to address an emerging system need. That application-driven approach resulted in a configurable platform that takes the solution beyond the original application and into the broader data center cooling market.”

Key features of Gates ThermalCool 2100SS Pump:

High performance in a compact footprint: Up to 200 L/min flow at 3 bar in a 4U-compatible design.Self-cooling architecture: Built for enclosed CDUs with limited airflow or high ambient temperatures, the motor is uniquely designed to be electrically dry and actively liquid-cooled by the coolant the pump already circulates, with no separate cooling circuit or fan required.Engineered for data center reliability: Stainless steel construction, OCP-compliant wetted materials, IP55 protection and a rated 50,000-hour pump life support reliable, long-term operation.Flexible, scalable integration: Configurable connections and mounting options fit different CDU layouts, while parallel operation and N+1 redundancy let customers scale capacity and help protect uptime. CANBUS and MODBUS communication support integration with CDU monitoring and control systems.

The ThermalCool 2100SS Pump expands Gates’ capabilities across the data center cooling loop, complementing its portfolio of hoses, UQDs, fittings and engineered assemblies. Together, these technologies strengthen Gates’ ability to help customers engineer the fluid path from coolant circulation through rack-level connection and conveyance. The Gates ThermalCool 2100SS Pump is expected to be available globally in early 2027.

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 12, 2026 /CNW/ — East Side Games Group (TSX: EAGR) (OTC: EAGRF) (“ESGG” or the “Company”), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended Sept 30th, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:

Revenue of $10.79M (down 46% YoY) including $2.2M from a development milestone payment from a platform partner. Excluding the milestone payment, revenue was $8.6M.Adjusted EBITDA (A-EBITDA) of $1.6M (up 153% YoY) Excluding the Milestone Payment A-EBITDA was $617k.A-EBITDA Margin of 14.8% (up 199% YoY) Margin of 7.2% excluding the Milestone Payment.DAU (Daily Active Users): 96,946 (down 57.3% YoY)ARPDAU (Average Revenue Per Daily Active User):  $0.97  (even YoY)DAU/MAU (stickiness rate):  29.4% (up 25.9% YoY)

Third Quarter 2026 Commentary:

The Company delivered A-EBITDA of $1.6M on revenue of $10.79M in the third quarter. Results include $2.2M in revenue from a development milestone payment from a platform partner related to an as yet unannounced title. Fully funded development work of this kind is a deliberate part of the Company’s strategy to monetize its studio capabilities, and the milestone payment reflects the quality of that work and the strength of the partner relationship. Milestone payments may recur as further milestones are achieved or new partnerships are secured, but their timing and size are tied to project progress rather than a regular schedule. The Company therefore also presents its results excluding the payment so that investors can evaluate the recurring business on its own terms.

Excluding the milestone payment, base business revenue was $8.6M, compared to $10.3M in the second quarter, reflecting User Acquisition spend that was constrained by capital and managed to a 30-60 day payback target through most of the quarter. As announced in August, the Company began increasing daily User Acquisition spend in mid-August, focused on its most profitable cohorts and highest-margin titles, and the rate of decline in the player base slowed through September. The material expansion of the program was dependent on the closing of the Company’s new credit facilities, which occurred in October. Since then, with spend increased further, churn has been largely offset and daily revenue is rising. Because each dollar is measured against a defined payback window, the cost of this investment is reflected in the quarter’s A-EBITDA while most of the revenue it generates falls in subsequent periods.

On September 1, the Company completed the cost reduction and operational restructuring initiatives announced on September 3, 2026, reducing headcount by approximately 32% and rationalizing its portfolio to concentrate resources on its highest-performing live titles. These actions are expected to generate approximately $3.5 million in annualized savings, the majority of which will begin to be realized in the fourth quarter, in addition to the approximately $4 million in annualized savings implemented earlier in 2026.

Following the portfolio rationalization, the Company has also begun investing in User Acquisition for its newer titles for the first time, and expects them to become a meaningful contributor to revenue and the primary catalyst for growth in the base business in 2027.

Corporate Update & Strategy: 

During Q3, The Company’s User Acquisition strategy targeted a 30-60 day return on ad spend. The Company’s current User Acquisition strategy targets a 60–90 day return on ad spend, allowing it to focus on acquiring the most profitable player cohorts while maintaining overall capital efficiency. While this disciplined spending approach has moderated near-term top-line revenue, it has improved capital efficiency and supports the Company’s long-term strategy of building a stronger, more profitable business.  Management remains focused on generating cash flow and reducing debt over time.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into new credit facilities with National Bank of Canada (“NBC”) and Export Development Canada (“EDC”) (together, the “New Facilities”), providing the flexibility to invest in high-return User Acquisition while continuing to strengthen the balance sheet. The New Facilities consist of: (i) a C$3 million revolving line of credit with NBC bearing interest at prime plus 1%, and up to C$3.5 million in term loans backed by tax credits bearing interest at prime plus 1.25% and maturing when the related tax credits are received; and (ii) a US$4 million term loan with EDC. Amounts available to be drawn from NBC are constrained by estimates of current-year tax credits (75% of accrual). The Company’s credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) has been repaid in full.

Outlook:

Beginning in October, with the new credit facilities, the Company materially expanded its User Acquisition strategy by increasing daily spend with a focus on profitable cohorts in the highest-margin games. Each dollar spent is being closely measured and returned within short- to mid-term payback windows. This broader investment approach is expected to maintain revenue while maintaining a disciplined focus on long-term profitability.

With the New Facilities in place and the September restructuring complete, User Acquisition investment is now governed by cohort returns rather than cash availability, and the drag on top-line revenue from under-investment over the past year is coming to an end. Management’s priorities for the fourth quarter and into 2027 are to continue scaling User Acquisition where payback metrics support it, to bring the Company’s newer titles to a level of spend at which they contribute to revenue, and to continue pursuing fully funded development and platform partnership opportunities.

Through the continued use of AI tools, the Company has improved player targeting in its User Acquisition campaigns, accelerated iteration on advertising creative, and increased coding efficiency. New initiatives are being built with AI as a core tenet, with the expectation that they will be delivered on accelerated timelines and at materially lower cost. Investors should note that fourth quarter results will not include a milestone payment comparable to that recognized in Q3, and the Company’s Q4 revenue and A-EBITDA should be evaluated against the Q3 figures excluding the milestone payment presented above. The Company continues to pursue additional platform partnership and fully funded development opportunities, and will report any further milestone payments separately as they are earned.

Looking ahead, the Company remains focused on disciplined execution, strengthening its balance sheet, and driving sustainable, profitable growth through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027.
