Connance and CHRISTUS Health Team up at ANI HFMA to Discuss Denial Management
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) June 20, 2017 -- Connance, a leading provider of healthcare predictive analytics solutions, and CHRISTUS Health, a Texas-based health system, will present how predictive analytics drive reimbursement optimization, with a focus on denial management and claims statusing, at the annual HFMA ANI meeting in Orlando, June 25-28.
“The traditional approach to denied and underpaid claims leaves money on the table and wastes resources on claims that will resolve without effort, or claims that will cost more to resolve than they will be to collect,” says Tim Boomershine, vice president of analytics for Connance. “Leveraging predictive analytics for health systems like CHRISTUS can prioritize work effort for improved collection productivity and faster resolution.”
Ryan Thompson, vice president of revenue cycle at CHRISTUS, will share his experience leading CHRISTUS Health’s revenue cycle transformation that included breaking a traditional balance-driven strategy to one centered on predictive analytic technologies.
“Since we began orienting our claim follow-up around expected cash value using predictive analytics, CHRISTUS has realized a sizable decrease in AR days, a significant increase in cash collected, and a step-change in cost to collect.”
Session topics include advanced claim statusing, predictive analytics to optimize account handling, end-to-end workflow and work queues; and performance analytics that reveal A/R and staffing opportunities. Attendees also will learn how the system deciphered root causes to prevent future denials and underpayments.
“Predictive Analytics-Driven Strategy for Addressing Denial Management,” occurs on June 27 from 2:00 – 3:15 p.m. EST. Attendees receive 1.5 CPE credits.
