FAQ

How does Denial Management work?

The process of managing denials is an important part of the Revenue Cycle Management process. When an Insurance company denies the payment of a claim, the healthcare provider cannot collect payment for the services rendered to a patient. Although, a Clinical Denial may be based on Coding Reactions, Medical Necessity, the Length of Stay, or the Level of Care in addition to other clinically related issues.

What are the industry standards?

Obtaining payment for these denials can be a difficult and lengthy process. Healthcare organizations must appeal clinical denials. A reworked claim costs an average of $25 per claim, according to research. The industrial average is a denial rate of 5% to 10%. The ultimate goal would be to ensure that this standard falls below 5% in order to maximize revenue for the organization.
