Did you know that a healthcare provider loses 6-8% of their total revenue every year due to denied claims? Claim denials are one of the immense hurdles healthcare organizations face. Because of this challenge, the importance of analyzing, tracking, and preventing denials must be a priority. Proper denial management is crucial to the revenue cycle process.
But here is the kicker…
Many physicians and healthcare facilities lack awareness on the knows of denial management.
We can say that caring for a patient is already tricky, especially during these unprecedented times. But still, managing denied claims is equally important to keeping a healthcare organization afloat.
What is Denial Management?
Denial management is how healthcare organizations study the root causes of denials to implement corrective action to avoid future denials. Avoiding future denials is important because denials have a direct hit on the bottom line.
