About the Webinar:
Payer denials are ever increasing on all fronts in both the inpatient and outpatient setting under the guise of medical necessity and clinical validation denials as well as DRG and level of care downgrades. Providers receive denial letters outlining their rationale for the denial, often with generic nonspecific terminology and rationale. Payer denials are generally thought of as an added cost of doing business, adding an expense line to the financial statement. Forward thinking organizations view denials as part of a continuous quality improvement initiative centered around improving revenue cycle processes with a focus upon identifying and focusing upon the weakest link under the theory of limitations. Decoding payer denials must be conducted and facilitated through the mindset of learning and continuous quality improvement with the deployment of clinically astute staff that embrace the mission of “Proactive Preemptive Denials Avoidance.”
