Denials Teardown: What's Actually Working in Independent Practices Right Now

Thursday, August 13th, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

Most practice leaders believe denials are under control. New data tells a different story. In a survey of 360 independent practices, only 1 in 4 could pinpoint where revenue was leaking, and denials were climbing for nearly half.

The reason denials are so hard to fix: there is rarely a single cause. Eligibility, coding, prior authorization, payer policy shifts and documentation gaps often pile up at once, which is why hammering one fix rarely moves the rate.

In this live session, a practice leader who manages denials every day sits down to put the survey numbers on screen and answer the real questions: What blindsided you? What is actually working right now, and what is still a challenge?

Join to learn:

  • The leading causes of claim denials and why revenue leakage rarely traces to one root cause
  • How your denial profile compares with survey data from 360 independent practices
  • Practical strategies practices are using now to reduce denials
  • How greater revenue cycle visibility surfaces hidden leakage and strengthens financial outcomes
