Denials Management and Prevention: Progressive Approaches and Practical Solutions from the NAHRI Leadership Council

Brought to you in partnership with : 
Solventum

Heightened and increasing complex payer denial activity are putting growing pressure on hospitals. With major shifts in reimbursement, and the growing costs of simply keeping the doors open and caring for patients, denials are just one more obstacle hospitals face. But fortunately, it’s one that they can fight back against—and win. Preventing and managing denials isn’t a simple task, but the ROI—securing appropriate and complete reimbursement, addressing potential compliance gaps, and improving internal processes—make it essential.

On Thursday, November 6, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern, join members of the NAHRI Leadership Council as they share insights and analysis gleaned from their experience and the Council’s 2025 research series on denials management and prevention. They’ll discuss how organizations are evolving and setting new standards for successfully fighting denials, critical denials data to track and how to effectively communicate it, assembling an effective and efficient denials team, practical solutions for common issues, and more.
