Two Years After the Change Healthcare Cyberattack, Healthcare Still Has a Clearinghouse Redundancy Problem

Two years after Change Healthcare's cyberattack disrupted healthcare operations nationwide, the industry remains vulnerable due to inadequate redundancy in clearinghouse infrastructure. The incident exposed systemic reliance on a single dominant vendor for claims processing and billing, creating a critical single point of failure across the healthcare supply chain. Despite the attack, healthcare systems have not implemented sufficient backup systems or diversified clearinghouse dependencies, leaving the sector at risk of similar operational disruptions.
