Understanding Medical Claim Denials: Causes and Impact on Revenue
Introduction
Medical claim denials are one of the biggest challenges healthcare providers face in their revenue cycle. Denials occur when a payer refuses to reimburse a claim submitted by a healthcare provider. Understanding why claims get denied is the first step toward improving your practice’s cash flow.
Common Reasons for Denials
- Incomplete or inaccurate patient information
- Coding errors or mismatches
- Lack of prior authorization
- Timely filing limit exceeded
- Coordination of benefits issues
- Duplicate claims
Financial and Operational Impact
Denials delay payments and increase administrative costs. Unmanaged denials can lead to significant revenue loss and disrupt cash flow, affecting the overall financial health of a practice.
Role of Effective Denial Management
A proactive denial management strategy identifies denial trends, rectifies root causes, and resubmits claims efficiently to maximize reimbursement.
