Your Ophthalmology Yield is shrinking in Q2 2026 because three structural forces — a CMS-mandated efficiency cut to surgical RVUs, an expanding prior authorization pilot across 10 states, and payer-driven underpayment tactics that never surface as formal denials — are quietly compressing your net revenue per case, even as patient volumes stay strong.

Why Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Billing Losing Your Wound Program Revenue?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy billing is draining revenue from wound care programs across the country — not because of low patient volume, but because of three structural gaps that generic RCM vendors consistently fail to close: incorrect place-of-service coding, unsupported medical necessity documentation, and missed facility billing on the HCPCS G0277 line.

What Modifier Errors Cause the Most Anesthesia Claim Rejections?

Anesthesia Claim Rejections are most often caused by mismatched medical direction modifiers — especially QK/QX/QY mismatches between the anesthesiologist’s and CRNA’s claims, missing physical status modifiers, and concurrency errors that push a case from QK into the lower-paying AD modifier territory. If your practice is seeing a growing pile of denied or rejected claims, you […]

Why Is Pain Management AR Aging Above 45 Days for Most Groups?
