Protecting revenue in 2026: Strategies to safeguard cash flow across the revenue cycle


Thursday, February 26th, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

As Medicaid eligibility fluctuates, Medicare reimbursement tightens and coverage rules evolve, health systems are seeing more denials, underpayments and avoidable write-offs rooted in front-end gaps.

Health systems that fail to adapt risk compounding denials, underpayments and avoidable write-offs in 2026.

This webinar brings together revenue cycle leaders from Scripps Health, Temple Health, UC Davis Health and Vandalia Health for a discussion on how organizations are reinforcing both front-end and back-end revenue cycle processes to protect revenue heading into 2026.

Key takeaways include:
 
  • Reducing eligibility-related denials amid Medicaid churn
  • Preventing self-pay misclassification through better insurance discovery
  • Identifying Medicare underpayments and improving payment accuracy
  • Building a stronger revenue integrity foundation for 2026 planning
