Denial Management in Revenue Cycle: Addressing Staffing and Cost Challenges
Denial Management: A Growing Concern
Denial management practices are becoming increasingly crucial to healthcare facilities' financial stability. A report has shown that administrative expenses can account for over 40% of hospitals' total costs related to patient care. These costs are driven mainly by denials from commercial insurers, which complicate revenue cycle processes and require substantial staffing resources to address.
