Stopping Revenue Loss Before It Starts

In today’s healthcare landscape, claim denials are no longer a minor inconvenience they are a growing financial threat to hospitals, health systems, and provider groups worldwide. In the United States alone, claim denials cost providers an estimated $260 billion annually, representing a 20 percent increase in just five years. Globally, the financial burden is even more staggering, with billions lost to avoidable errors, delayed payments, and payer policy shifts.

Global Perspective

Universal Patient Access Challenges

Across markets, provider organizations report the same struggle: administrative bottlenecks at the front desk leading to downstream revenue leakage. In single-payer systems, poor data capture creates compliance issues; in multi-payer systems, payer-specific prior-auth rules cause delays and claim disputes. The problem is universal — and growing.
