Beckers Hospital Review recently published an article about the 4 ways healthcare organizations can reduce claim denials. The article covers the most common reasons for denials and how organizations can work to reduce denials – change the paradigm in denial management, use predictive analytics, invest in relationships with payers and focus on quality of patient data.
