BOCA RATON, Fla., July 23, 2024 ~ A recent survey conducted by Knowtion Health has revealed that hospital CFOs and revenue cycle leaders are facing increasing challenges in meeting cash and cash flow targets. The study, titled "Race for Cash: Pivoting Your Denials Strategy for a New Era," highlights the growing importance of effective denials management and accounts receivable (A/R) management strategies in the face of a changing denials landscape.
According to the survey, 78% of hospital CFOs and revenue cycle leaders believe that hitting cash and cash flow targets will be even more crucial for their organizations over the next three years. This is due to rising denial rates, underpayments, and more complex payment processes, which have put pressure on hospitals' financial performance.
One of the key findings of the study is that 25% of those surveyed anticipate significant challenges in funding long-term capital needs. This highlights the looming cash need for hospitals. Additionally, 57% of hospitals reported denial rates of 10% or more, leading to closer scrutiny on cash and A/R management by CFOs.

The survey also revealed low confidence in current denials management efforts, with nearly 1 in 5 revenue cycle leaders believing their organization's processes are "not very effective." This is further compounded by the fact that only 49% of those surveyed currently use AI technology in denials management, with 28% not using it at all. However, there is a shift expected in the next three years, with 50% believing adoption of AI technology will be "somewhat likely" and 31% believing it will be "very likely."
Another major barrier to improving revenue recovery from underpayments and denials is a deficit of denials expertise. According to the survey, 37% of leaders cited this as their biggest challenge. Clinical denial appeal writing was also identified as a high pain point.
One revenue cycle leader shared their experience with overwhelming volumes of denials, stating, "Payers are using AI tools to mass downgrade ED levels without reviewing a single record, denying huge dollars of claims. We are audited ad nauseam by vendors hired by payers to retract payment on post-pay reviews. We can't employ enough staff with the appropriate knowledge and skillsets to effectively fight these denials."
