Chicago, IL – October 1, 2025 – Operating margins for U.S. health systems remained narrow in August, holding at a national median of 1.0% despite steady revenue growth, according to new data from Strata Decision Technology. While up slightly from 0.9% in July, the median health system operating margin remains largely unchanged from levels seen throughout 2025 to date.
In this session, leaders share how health systems, physician groups, and management companies can elevate their reimbursement strategy by going beyond traditional models through marrying internal cost and contract data with external market rate benchmarks.
Key learnings:
Margin erosion, payer rate compression and regulatory mandates are squeezing healthcare revenue. For many systems, reimbursement strategies remain reactive, leaving millions on the table.
Without a data-driven approach, organizations risk falling behind in payer negotiations and missing opportunities that standalone data solutions may not uncover.
