The surge in claim denials from payers is creating an unsustainable burden on healthcare systems, forcing them to rework and resubmit an overwhelming volume of denied claims. Already struggling with rising costs and administrative complexities, health organizations are looking for a proactive solution for denials management. Join us for an in-depth presentation as we uncover strategies to prevent claim denials at the source and streamline the revenue cycle. Original Live Webinar Date: April 24, 2025

Learning Objectives:

• Identify common claim denial causes and address them at the source
• Apply best practices for upstream denial mitigation using accurate documentation, coding compliance, and process optimization
• Explore in-workflow denials management solutions that integrate seamlessly into the EHR

The University of Colorado Medicine has built a unified, data-driven model to strengthen primary care performance across its value-based contracts. In this session, CU Medicine’s centralized Office of Value-Based Performance drives systemwide alignment, improves care delivery, and maximizes revenue opportunities.

The presenters will walk through CU Medicine’s matrixed population health structure, the collaborative model used across system and clinic-based primary care, and the centralized resources that support contract performance. They will highlight key revenue drivers, lessons learned, and practical strategies attendees can apply within their own organizations. Notable outcomes of this work, include achieving shared savings across all value-based models , increasing annual wellness visits and launching an initiative to quantify the value of FTEs—a structured approach to calculating how individual roles contribute to success in value-based care.

Speaker

Learning Objectives

• Understand how a centralized value-based performance structure can improve primary care revenue and contract outcomes.
• Identify key operational strategies that drive shared savings across value-based models.
• Learn how to quantify the contribution of FTEs to value-based care success and apply a similar framework within your organization.

CMMI’s new mandatory Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) places specialists who treat heart failure and low back pain under two-sided financial risk and accountability for outcomes, cost, care coordination and interoperability. This webinar will break down the fundamentals of ASM and translate them into practical readiness steps for health systems, physician groups, and clinically integrated networks. Learn how to strengthen coordination between specialty and primary care teams, assess readiness to meet ASM expectations, identify levers to optimize performance and prepare for two-sided risk.

Speakers

Learning Objectives

• Understand the structure and intent of CMMI’s Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM)
• Identify the operational, clinical, and data-readiness steps organizations should take to prepare for ASM participation
• Describe how ASM’s two-sided risk design, transparency features, and condition-specific performance measures will affect specialists and health systems.

Payers are no longer relying solely on rules-based denials. They are increasingly using AI and advanced analytics to predict provider behavior; selectively denying and underpaying claims they believe are unlikely to be challenged. The result is a new reimbursement landscape where revenue erosion happens quietly, incrementally, and often below traditional review thresholds.

In this conversation, Missy Harbert, Solution Advisor at Revecore, sits down with Cynamin Kinard, VP of Revenue Cycle at Tanner Health System, to unpack how payer AI strategies are reshaping denials and underpayments — and what it actually looks like to respond from inside a health system. Drawing on Cynamin’s three decades of revenue cycle leadership, the discussion moves beyond theory into real lessons from the field: what’s changed, what’s working, and where hospitals still get caught off guard.

Speaker

Learning Objectives

• Understand how payers use AI to predict appeal behavior and optimize denial decisions
• Identify denial and underpayment patterns designed to go unchallenged
• Recognize where revenue loss occurs without obvious spikes in denial rates
• Evaluate denials based on effort, probability of recovery, and true financial impact
• Use analytics to move from transaction-level reaction to payer strategy insight
