The 2020 Payer Panel

Listen to Our Experts

Join us November 11th at the Minnesota HFMA 2020 Payer Panel with AAHAM for Revenue Cycle 101: Denial Prevention/The Real Cost of Denials.

Learn about the top types of front-end denials—along with how and why they happen. Discover why there is a higher cost to working denials than what can be seen on a patient’s bill, and learn just how much your denials are actually costing you. Preparing for and preventing denials through process improvements will save you money later.
