Welcome to episode nine of the RevTech Rx Podcast- Your Prescription for a healthy revenue cycle! Streamline Health, a leader in pre-billing coding optimization, powers this episode.
Learning how to prevent medical billing denials is crucial for healthcare providers as claim denials continue to rise and inflate billing- and insurance-related costs (BIR). Our panel of experts discusses their five tips for denial prevention, which include simply communicating and verifying insurance prior to authorization. We also dig into more complicated tips such as setting up a line of communication between patient financial service teams and the clinical team for case management.
With these tips, revenue cycle professionals can gut-check their existing processes and perhaps learn new opportunities to reduce denials.
