CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ensemble, the nation’s leading end-to-end revenue cycle managed services partner for healthcare organizations, is proud to announce its distinguished provider clients have earned multiple 2026 HFMA MAP Awards for High Performance in Revenue Cycle, recognizing sustained excellence and continued momentum in revenue cycle performance practices defined by operations. 

Sponsored by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), the MAP Awards are based on defined, performance‑based criteria demonstrating strong results, measurable progress and an ongoing commitment to high-performing revenue cycle practices that help organizations support patient care and the communities they serve

“When our clients earn HFMA MAP Awards, their success signals more than strong revenue cycle performance, it points to a more resilient future for healthcare,” said Shannon White, Ensemble’s Chief Operating Officer. “By combining partnership, data and innovation, we help providers build financial resilience that supports long‑term patient access and care quality. That progress strengthens communities and positions healthcare organizations for long-term growth and sustainability.”

"The MAP Awards are about more than metrics — they reflect the sustained work organizations are doing to strengthen how healthcare is delivered and supported,” said Richard Gundling, Chief Mission Impact Officer at HFMA. “When we see measurable progress in revenue cycle performance, it tells us these teams are building stronger financial foundations that ultimately protect patient access and care. That kind of consistency and commitment is what moves the industry forward.” 

HFMA’s MAP Awards underscore the strength of Ensemble’s client partnerships and a shared commitment to high‑quality revenue cycle performance that supports better patient experiences. This same focus is reflected in Ensemble’s successful achievement of the HFMA Peer Review designation for Full Revenue Cycle Management Services, an independent, evidence‑based evaluation informed by current clients, prospective users and industry experts.  

The HFMA Peer Review assessment measures 11 criteria — including effectiveness, usability, value and support — reinforcing Ensemble’s role in helping providers stay focused on patient care while the operational complexity of the revenue cycle is managed behind the scenes. 

Together, these recognitions from HFMA reflect Ensemble’s unwavering commitment to delivering reliable, high‑performance revenue cycle operations for healthcare providers and their patients nationwide.
