High Costs of Manual Denial Appeals
1 verified sources
Definition
Manual denial management in labs leads to excessive staff time; predictive tools are needed but absent in many AU facilities.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 5 minutes per claim manual review; AUD 25-181 rework cost per claim; 25% denials from human error[3]
- Frequency: Daily for labs with 100+ claims/day
- Root Cause: Lack of integrated denial analytics and workflow automation
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Diagnostic labs waste AUD 40 hours/month per staffer on appeals. Automation cuts this by 75%.
