Reduce Denials

“We can transmit accurate information to payors very quickly and can respond easily if they ask for additional documentation.  This means we get claims approved more frequently while patients are still at the hospital.”  – Mari Finley, Director of Case Management, Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, Texas Health Resources

  • Good Samaritan Hospital reduces denials by 50% within 6 months 
  • UPMC reduces their denial rate to almost zero
Optimize LOS

“We can now start getting things done earlier in the day.  For example, therapists now can respond to a D/C pending PT evaluation earlier, which can shave a whole day off of LOS.”   –Towonda Johnson, RN/Case Manager, Good Samaritan Hospital

  • West Virginia University Hospital reduces their LOS by 1/2 day and adds $1.5 million per year to the hospital's bottom line in the first year
  • Seton Family of Hospitals reduces LOS for patients needing post-acute care by over 1 day
