Four considerations for adopting a claims denial program:
1. Explore the financial implications and conduct research to determine if a claims denial program is right for your organization.
2. Measure the organization's current performance in coding and documentation.
3. Automate billing and collection processes to ensure that only valid claims are audited.
4. Measure and monitor whether implementations improve outcomes.
