“Identify the source of denials through reports and discussions with staff, and then prioritize fixing the problem,” he told Becker’s Hospital Review. “Train staff about these issues and review top denials regularly in meetings with physicians. It’s critical to recognize the contribution of every employee in the denial-management process.”
