Points of Light 2022 Case Study 4
Avoidable Denials Reduced via Early Detection of Claims Errors
Administrative costs in healthcare are now in the trillions. Hoping to reduce these costs, the three stakeholders in this case study worked together to incorporate UnitedHealthcare’s payment rules into the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics’ billing solution. This allows the health system to catch errors before claims are submitted, reducing rework and saving administrative costs. The collaborators emphasize the importance of continued collaboration to make sure the suggested edits continue to be refined and expanded.
