Is your revenue cycle under increased attack? Are your providers working harder and collecting less? Payers are increasingly using downcoding and other subtle tactics to reduce your revenue — often without practices realizing until it’s too late. Traditional canned reports can’t keep up. This session shows practice leaders how to build targeted emails, dashboards, and spreadsheets that help busy managers spot revenue leaks before they become financial floods. Attendees will explore practical strategies to track and respond to downcoding, denial trends, and other hidden threats to your practice’s finances. Through an interactive discussion and real-world examples from practices across the country, attendees will see how to identify, fix, and follow up on current challenges in revenue cycle management. They will leave with concrete ideas and tools to monitor the right indicators at the right time, and to respond proactively to today’s revenue cycle threats and opportunities.
Learning Objectives:
Analyze revenue cycle data sources to detect early indicators of leaks from downcoding, denials, underpayments, and other payer behaviors
Organize dashboards, emails, and spreadsheets that surface key metrics in real time
Test new tracking and reporting approaches from real-world examples at other practices
