Healthcare providers are facing growing difficulties in securing reimbursement, as highlighted by a recent Experian Health survey. Claims denials, already a major pain point, have worsened over the past two years, creating a heightened concern across the industry. With payers tightening their policies and the smallest errors leading to rejections, the financial sustainability of healthcare organizations is increasingly being threatened. At Surgikal Assistants, we’ve seen the impact of increasing claims denials firsthand. It has forced our team to invest more time and resources in resubmissions, which affects our operational efficiency and bottom line. As denials become more frequent, the ability to secure consistent reimbursement is critical for long-term survival. We are not just navigating these challenges today but also need to adapt for tomorrow. The healthcare landscape is evolving, and without stronger payer and hospital relations and robust claims management strategies, the future sustainability of outsourced surgical services like ours could be at risk. #operatingroom #surgery #claimsdenial #surgikal #surgicalassistants https://lnkd.in/gZGYn54c
