Revenue Lost Is Revenue Earned Back with the Right Tools
Denied claims may seem like a routine part of healthcare operations—but the true cost is far greater than most practices and billing companies realize.
Claim denials slow down your revenue cycle, burden your staff, and leave significant revenue uncollected. Worse, many of these denials are preventable. Without the right tools, your team ends up chasing errors instead of eliminating them.
With AI-powered denial management from Claimity, you can shift from a reactive approach to a proactive, intelligent process—preventing denials before they occur and recovering revenue faster when they do.
The Hidden Costs of Claim Denials
Revenue Loss
Denied claims directly impact your bottom line—especially when they aren’t resubmitted. Consider these industry benchmarks:
- 10–20% of claims are denied on first submission
- Over 60% of denied claims are never appealed or corrected
- The average provider loses 3–5% of net revenue annually due to denials
For small to mid-sized practices, this can translate into tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue every year.
Operational Overhead
Denials consume significant staff time and resources:
- Reworking a single denial takes 30–60 minutes on average
- Each appeal costs between $25 to $118
- Billing teams spend 20–30% of their time following up on denials
Multiply this across dozens—or hundreds—of denials per month, and you’re looking at substantial operational drag.
Delayed Cash Flow
Denied claims don’t disappear—they age in your accounts receivable, locking up funds that could support payroll, operations, or growth. The longer a claim remains unpaid, the more it disrupts your cash flow and financial planning.
How AI Helps You Prevent and Recover Denials Faster
Traditional denial management is manual, reactive, and slow. You wait for denials to arrive, investigate the cause, and then assign staff to resolve them. Claimity’s AI-powered platform changes that dynamic completely—adding automation, intelligence, and speed.
1. Predict Denials Before They Happen
Claimity scans claim data in real time to detect patterns and predict denials before submission. It identifies common issues such as:
- Coding or modifier errors
- Payer-specific rule violations
- Documentation gaps
- Eligibility mismatches
By flagging problems early, your team can correct them before they result in a denial.
2. Automate Denial Categorization and Routing
When denials do occur, Claimity instantly:
- Categorizes the denial by type and reason
- Assigns it to the correct resolution workflow
- Routes it to the right staff member
This eliminates manual triaging and helps your team act faster, with more precision.
3. Accelerate Appeals and Corrections
Claimity’s intelligent tools go beyond identification. The platform:
- Recommends corrective actions
