Surgery centers can improve claims denial management by adopting proactive strategies, according to Mnet Health News.
Three best practices:
1. Use available data and analytics to identify revenue cycle risks before they arise.
2. Prevent denials by identifying the root causes of them, such as flawed internal processes or technology errors.
3. Don't abandon denial resolution efforts after a claim reaches a certain age; track the success of denial appeals and build on that success.
