Note from the Associate Editor
Take a sneak peek into the industry’s denial mitigation trends

by Jess Fluegel

Not all CDI teams are directly involved in the denials management or appeals process, but every CDI professional knows the value of avoiding a denial in the first place. CDI departments employ many methods, often concurrently, to target different issues related to their organization’s denial trends. Though I’m still learning every day, my continuing education on the complex world of CDI has taught me how frustrating of a problem payer denials can be.
