Prabhu:
What is revenue cycle management and can any one explain in detail about the billing cycle with step by step procedure.

Michele:
https://www.ohsu.edu/xd/about/services/patient-business-services/revenue-cycle/ describes revenue cycle management very well.  As for the second part of your question, are you asking for someone to describe the entire billing cycle in a post on a forum?
