Hospitals had one of their most challenging fiscal years due to labor shortages and inflation.1 One-third of these hospitals wrote off at least $10 million in bad debt.2 Moreover, nearly $5 million is lost annually per hospital specificallyfrom rejected and denied claims.3
Many hospitals and health systems mistakenly believe that denied and rejected claims are an unavoidable reality of providing healthcare, one that fuels revenue loss and consumes expensive manpower to overcome with little payoff.
In this webinar, participants will learn about a new strategy for revenue cycle processes that can minimize rejected and denied claims and improve the patient experience. Cardinal Health expert Laura McIntire-Hansel will share insights from her experiences as a hospital nurse and in outpatient insurance and remittance, and patient advocacy.
