Market Urgency and Context

Payer denials are the top financial hazard - 48% of executives named them as their greatest organizational risk.

Denial rates remain high - Initial denial rates averaged 11.8% in 2024; uncollectable write-offs averaged 2.8%.

Complex claims dominate A/R - 42% of receivables aged >90 days were tied to clinical denials requiring HIM/coding expertise.
