FRANKLIN, Tenn., October 22, 2026 – Xsolis, an AI-driven technology company that reduces administrative waste by enabling collaboration between healthcare providers and payers, today announced that Cliff Bell, senior director of value realization, has been named to Becker’s Healthcare’s 2026 Health IT & Revenue Cycle Up-and-Comers list. The list recognizes early-career leaders who are driving growth, transformation, and financial success across hospitals, health systems, and healthcare companies.
Bell leads the value realization partners team, which works with health system and health plan clients to maximize return on investment across Xsolis’ solutions, including the Dragonfly® platform, reporting, services, and length-of-stay tools such as Dragonfly Navigate. He joined Xsolis in January 2021 as director of payer services, where he built the payer function’s workflows and training before moving into account management.
Since 2021, Xsolis has grown from 23 payer connections to more than 850 across 25 health plans, and more than two-thirds of its health system clients are now connected to one or more payer partners. Bell was a key contributor to Precision UM, which lets payers use the Care Level Score to automate case reviews with connected hospitals and health systems based on historical alignment data, and he helped develop payer mapping within Dragonfly. He also contributed to Revenue Integrity Insights, which processes appeals data to help clients trace denials to their root causes.
Under Bell’s leadership, Xsolis reshaped a portion of its client service function into the value realization partners team, a distinct part of how Xsolis serves its clients. The team owns KPI and ROI measurement and routinely evaluates how to optimize clients’ results, and it comes included with the product, not as an add-on. On average, Xsolis clients see a return of five to seven times their investment.
Outside Xsolis, Bell helped launch the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s Executive Revenue Integrity Council in December 2023. He now serves as its primary point of contact, helping design curriculum and plan its quarterly meetings.
“Since joining Xsolis in 2021, Cliff has played an instrumental role in strengthening how we serve our clients,” said Mandy Cruz, VP of Client Delivery & Success. “He began by building our payer services team and establishing the processes needed to support our health plan partners. In 2025, he turned his focus to transforming a portion of our account management organization into a team of true value realization partners. Today, he brings that experience across both sides of our business to ensure our health system and health plan partners understand the measurable value of their partnership with Xsolis. His commitment to delivering meaningful insights, demonstrating impact, and holding his team to a high standard makes a real difference for our clients.”
“I’m grateful to Becker’s for this recognition, but it belongs to the whole team,” said Cliff Bell, Senior Value Realization Partner. “Our clients trust us with hard conversations about denials, length of stay, and payer-provider relationships, and I get to work with people who take that trust seriously.”
