The Hidden Drain on Medical Revenue: The Underpayment Crisis and How to Address It

To the esteemed CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and decision-makers in the medical industry,

In the realm of healthcare, we face the persistent challenge of providing world-class care while maintaining the financial stability and growth of our establishments. But have you ever stopped to consider if a substantial portion of your revenue is slipping through the cracks due to underpayments?

The Underpayment Conundrum

In 2021, multiple studies indicated that medical facilities, ranging from small clinics to large hospitals, were grappling with an escalating issue: significant underpayments. These underpayments, often a result of coding inaccuracies, missed charges, contract variances, or denials, have emerged as an unintended financial drain. The revenue loss across various medical facilities due to underpayments is staggering:

• Hospitals: A 2021 report found that the average 300-bed hospital lost between $5M to $10M annually due to underpayments.
• Specialty Clinics: Specialty clinics reported an average of 7% revenue loss annually.
• Primary Care Practices: These establishments encountered a 5-6% decline in projected revenue.
• Other Medical Facilities: On average, there was a 5-8% revenue leakage due to underpayment issues.

The Resource Challenge

As the stakes are high, why aren’t more medical facilities rigorously chasing these underpayments? The answer often boils down to resources.

Chasing underpayments is a meticulous task. It requires experts who understand the intricacies of medical billing, coding, and contract management. Many medical facilities, especially those with already tight operational budgets, find it challenging to allocate staff for this specialized task. Overburdening existing employees can lead to errors, burnout, and even further revenue loss.
