Breaking the Claims Denials Cycle
Fostering better outcomes, cleaner claims and greater leverage with payers
Hospitals and health systems are grappling with rising frustration from both providers and patients as claims denials continue to surge. These denials often lead to unexpected medical expenses for patients and financial strain for organizations that already have delivered essential care. Despite rigorous documentation by hospitals, artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical necessity reviews increasingly have become prevalent, contributing to a sharp increase in rejected claims. As advocacy efforts continue to hold corporate health plans accountable for covering medically necessary treatment, there’s a growing need to rethink payer engagement. By harnessing the power of technology, health systems can shift from chasing approvals to preventing denials. This Knowledge Exchange e-book explores a proactive payer strategy by tackling denials at the source and shifting the focus from reactive appeals to real-time intervention to drive better outcomes for both patients and providers.
