Revenue Recovery Strategies for Hospitals and Health Systems

Sponsored by

Financial challenges remain a consistent and growing concern for hospitals. These challenges stem from the global pandemic, like a shifting payer mix and a drop in elective procedures. Others have been here all along – complex medical billing rules, changing regulations, and bad debt, just to name a few – but have suddenly come into sharper focus. In this white paper, learn techniques for overcoming old and new revenue challenges by adopting a different perspective on the traditional claim lifecycle.

Conventional strategies for addressing reimbursement shortfalls are reactive: tracking down missing patient information, correcting claims errors post rejection, chasing delinquent self-pay accounts, and so on. A proactive approach that addresses issues before, during, and after a claim, on the other hand, is more effective in capturing revenue; it saves time and requires less labor.

Hospitals large and small are leveraging these strategies to stop revenue leaks, decrease days in A/R, improve cost-to-collect ratios and improve patient satisfaction. Download the white paper now to discover how more robust coverage discovery and eligibility verification solutions can help you preserve financial stability and position your organization for a more secure future.

Case Study: Transforming Financial Clearance and Prior Authorization Processes

With 15 hospitals in three states and almost four million patient visits per year, UCHealth needed to transform its processes for financial clearance and prior authorization in preparation for its next phase of growth.

Manual, high touch payer interactions, lack of payer authorization rules, and decentralized processes continued to negatively affect staff capacity, wasting up to 70% of staff time. This led to a near-constant need to hire more employees, higher than- necessary delays in securing authorization and increased denials and write-offs.

In this case study, learn how UCHealth was able to:

  • Save up to $720,000 in FTE salaries
  • Improve speed of prior authorizations by 340%
  • Significantly decrease ‘no authorization’ write-offs
  • And more!

Thirty percent of organizations say 10% to more than 15% of claims lead to a denial.

In this exclusive report, gain key insights into how leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem view the worsening denials problem along with various perspectives on the impacts of expanding technology.
