In 2020, providers made 238 million claim status inquiries by phone, fax or email. Most payers still limit the number of inquiries allowed per call, which means more calls, more work for staff and more time wasted. And that’s before adding in the time it takes to update claim statuses in practice management or hospital information systems. New financial performance demands are forcing revenue cycle, financial services and billing professionals to reevaluate their approach to claim monitoring.

And not just any tech—you’ll need solutions efficient and flexible enough to meet the unique needs of your organization.
