In the intricate landscape of health care, payer denials pose a significant challenge for providers. In recent years, denial rates have risen, partly due to payers’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) and provider workforce constraints to help mitigate denials. With the click of a button, dozens of claims can be denied — not from a comprehensive medical review process but from insurance plans incorporating their own set of algorithms.

But providers can also use AI and automation to play a pivotal role in denial prevention, management and recovery by streamlining processes, reducing errors and enhancing efficiency.

Join this panel discussion to learn how AI technology solutions can help provider organizations overcome staffing challenges in critical revenue cycle management (RCM) areas to respond more efficiently and effectively to payer denials. 

Attendees Will Learn:

• How to address key challenges in revenue cycle management (RCM) operations.
• To Identify the specific areas of the revenue cycle most impacted by staff shortages and how to overcome administrative burdens.
• How payers are using AI in review processes to challenge claims and how provider organizations can leverage AI to respond to challenges.
• How AI technology can help health care providers respond to staffing shortages in RCM and reduce manual intervention.
