Revenue Management
Conifer Denials & Appeals Management
Conifer Denials & Appeals Management gives your organization the power to recoup revenues lost through inappropriate clinical, technical and administrative denials-without shifting staff resources away from patient care. Our experienced nurses use their knowledge and skill to resolve all types of denials, even the most complex requiring extensive review of the medical record. We’ll help reduce your denial backlog and apply best practices that could reduce denial rates over the long term. We bring you the benefit of years of knowledge gained from working with other hospitals and apply these best practices immediately-from appeal strategies to writing effective appeal letters. As we work your accounts, we’ll identify the root cause of denials and work with your teams to implement effective strategies and process improvements to reduce costly delays in payment.
