Delayed Reimbursements from Denied Claims
Definition
In Australian medical labs, claim denials from private health funds (covering 45%+ of population) require manual appeals, causing cash flow delays. Global benchmarks apply due to similar insurer dynamics; 10-15% denial rates lead to net patient revenue losses.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 5M annual loss per hospital (5% net revenue); AUD 25-181 per claim rework; 60% denied claims never resubmitted[3]
- Frequency: Per claim denial, monthly for high-volume labs
- Root Cause: Manual review of remittance advices, lack of real-time denial analytics
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories in Australia 🇦🇺 lose AUD 500,000+ annually on denial appeals. Automation of denial workflows eliminates this risk.
