Yes, Optometry Denial Management can meaningfully reduce timely filing losses, but only when it is built around root cause data rather than faster resubmission. Most optometry groups treat a timely filing denial as a speed problem and try to refile quicker. The actual problem sits upstream, in the w...

Yes, optometry RCM services can improve NCR within 90 days, but only when the approach is built for optometry’s specific billing structure and not adapted from generic medical billing. Optometry practices routinely see Net Collection Ratio stuck in the 80 to 85% range, not because of poor fron...

Outpatient physical therapy billing loses the most revenue in five places that never show up as a denial: time units rounded down instead of billed to the full 8-minute rule, the KX modifier threshold crossed without supporting documentation, modifier 59/XS left off legitimately separate procedures,...

For most multi-provider groups, the honest answer is yes. Once you add up salaries, benefits, software, training, and the claims nobody ever reworks, in-house billing usually costs more than outsourced revenue cycle management, even before you count the revenue that simply never gets collected. Most...

Probably not, and that’s normal. Most orthopedic groups and multi-surgeon facilities carry a meaningful chunk of orthopedic AR sitting past 90 and 120 days heading into Q4, largely because joint and spine procedures carry 90-day global billing periods, implant documentation delays, and workers...

Yes. For most multi-provider practices and facilities, denial write-offs are one of the largest hidden drains on EBITDA, often erasing 3% to 5% of net patient revenue every year. Unlike a denied claim that gets reworked and paid, a write-off is money your facility has permanently given up, and it ra...

Yes, for most healthcare organizations, Root Cause Denial Analysis is missing, and that gap is exactly why the same denials keep resurfacing month after month. It is the practice of tracing every denied claim back to the operational or clinical breakdown that caused it, rather than reworking the cla...

Yes, for most multi-provider practices and facilities, medical necessity denials are one of the largest, most preventable sources of revenue leakage on the books. They happen when a payer decides that the documentation submitted doesn’t justify the service billed, even when the care itself was...

Yes, for a mid-size multi-site health system, reactive claim denial management can realistically cost $5 million or more a year once you add up unrecovered write-offs, rework labor, delayed cash flow, and the staff hours spent fighting the same denials over and over. Most facilities never see the fu...

Yes, in most cases the 2026 cataract reimbursement changes are hurting ASC margin, even when the headline number looks like an increase. The Medicare facility rate for cataract surgery (CPT 66984) rose 3.4% for 2026, but the physician payment for the same procedure fell 11%, and a separate CMS polic...
