Currently, the US offers the most opportunities in healthcare outsourcing services. It also has the most complex healthcare administrative processes and lends itself very well to using the services for back-office and knowledge based services in India.  The Obama Care (healthcare reform) plan when implemented is expected to increase the volume of work being outsourced.  In addition to this, the transition of the US healthcare industry from ICD-9 to ICD-10 for the medical coding system is expected to be as big as the Y2K conversion and benefit the Indian healthcare outsourcing industry in a big way.
