Denial write-offs are rising dramatically as hospitals wrestle with an ever-more complex reimbursement environment and mounting workloads for central billing office personnel. But despite studies showing denial volume has increased, many facilities have yet to develop effective or reliable strategies for resolving either their oldest accounts receivable or their high-volume/low value claims.
Too often, lower-dollar claims are abandoned by the hospital’s internal billing staff or primary accounts receivable (AR) management firm in order to focus limited staff resources solely on the most valuable, big-ticket denials. At the same time, as claims become highly-aged, many hospitals feel the likelihood of collection is limited and so cease working them because it’s believed that chasing aged, low-value denials is not a cost-effective use of limited resources.
Resolving delayed, denied, or underpaid insurance claims can be a protracted, costly and ultimately unsuccessful process for hospitals and health systems to work internally. As a result, hospitals and health systems are looking for ways to decrease denials through the assistance from outsourced denial management vendors to help with various segments and classifications of their AR inventory.
