CommonSpirit To Transition Conifer Revenue Cycle Services

Chicago – (Feb. 2, 2026) – CommonSpirit Health, together with Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC), and its wholly-owned revenue cycle management subsidiary, Conifer Revenue Cycle Solutions (Conifer), today announced  an agreement for CommonSpirit Health to insource its revenue cycle operations for facilities currently served by Conifer. 

Conifer has provided CommonSpirit, and one of its predecessor organizations, Catholic Health Initiatives, with revenue cycle services since 2012.  

“Tenet respects CommonSpirit’s strategic imperatives and decision to insource the revenue cycle operations currently served by Conifer. CommonSpirit worked closely with us to structure a mutually beneficial transaction that reflects our longstanding partnership and commitment to the joint venture,” said Saum Sutaria, M.D., Chairman and CEO, Tenet Healthcare. “The transaction will enable a thoughtful, collaborative transition over the coming year. Conifer is grateful for the opportunity to serve CommonSpirit’s ministries and our team takes pride in contributing to a strong revenue cycle foundation for their future. We look forward to seeing CommonSpirit continue advancing its important mission in the communities it serves.”

“CommonSpirit came together with Conifer and Tenet in this transaction to  support our multi-year system integration strategy,” said Michael Browning, SEVP and CFO, CommonSpirit. “Conifer has been a strong and reliable revenue cycle partner since 2012, bringing consistency to a previously fragmented environment in the former Catholic Health Initiatives portfolio. Conifer meaningfully contributed to these hospitals achieving 100% of their cash collection goals. We are grateful for Conifer’s long standing collaboration and wish them continued success in delivering value to other healthcare systems.”

The transition of Conifer’s revenue cycle management services within CommonSpirit is expected to take up to 11 months.
