Commenting on proposed rules and policy changes is one of the most important ways revenue integrity professionals can advocate for policies and processes that benefit their communities, patients, and organizations. Writing an influential comment relies on a thorough understanding of the proposal, its intentions, and the real environment in which the proposed changes would be implemented if finalized.
