Maximizing Yield: Revenue Cycle Integration and Successful Denial Management

Conifer Health Solutions Webinar to Detail How Involving Clinicians in the Revenue Cycle Can Improve a Hospital’s Bottom Line

FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hospitals count on their clinicians to treat patients and save lives, and they can also count on them to help improve the effectiveness of their facility’s revenue cycle. A senior leader from Conifer Health Solutions will explain how utilizing clinicians can increase a hospital’s bottom line and further its mission during an upcoming executive webinar, “Maximizing Yield: Revenue Cycle Integration and Successful Denial Management.” The event will be held on Tuesday, July 20, at 2 p.m. CDT and is being sponsored by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).

Conifer’s speaker is Rhonda R. Bankester, RN, senior director of Clinical and Coding Services. She will explain how to centralize clinical clearance, integrate clinicians into revenue cycle operations, and establish denial recovery processes that help free up hospital case managers. She will also use a case study to connect clinical authorization and clinical denial management with bottom line value.
