Denial Management Best Practices (On-Demand Webinar)

A practical, on-demand session on how to reduce claim denials — from building a disciplined appeals workflow to shifting your whole operation from recovery toward prevention.

This denial management webinar distills what high-performing revenue cycle teams do differently to reduce claim denials — and, more importantly, how they stop denials from happening in the first place. Denials remain one of the largest and most preventable sources of lost revenue in healthcare: they consume staff time, delay cash, and quietly erode net collection rate. In this on-demand session, we walk through a repeatable framework for turning denials from a recurring firefight into a managed, shrinking problem.

What the webinar covers

The session is built around a full agenda you can return to section by section. Each segment moves from diagnosis to action, so you leave with practices you can apply immediately rather than a list of statistics.

  • Anatomy of a denial. How to categorize denials by root cause — eligibility, authorization, coding, medical necessity, timely filing — and why categorization is the foundation of every improvement.
  • Reading the signal in your remittances. Using denial codes and payer patterns to find the handful of causes driving the majority of your denied dollars.
  • Building a disciplined appeals workflow. Prioritizing appeals by recoverable dollars and probability, standardizing appeal packets, and tracking outcomes to close the loop.
  • Shifting left to prevention. Moving checks upstream — eligibility, authorization, and claim scrubbing before submission — so preventable denials never reach the payer.
  • Where AI changes the equation. How predictive scoring and continuously learning models flag at-risk claims pre-submission and detect payer policy drift early.
  • Measuring what matters. The KPIs that tell you whether your denial program is actually working, and how to report them to leadership.

Who should watch

The webinar is written for the people who own denial outcomes: revenue cycle directors and managers, billing and A/R team leads, coding and HIM leaders, and CFOs who want a clearer line of sight into preventable revenue leakage. If your organization is working denials reactively — appealing what comes back rather than preventing what goes out — this session is designed for you.

The best-run revenue cycles treat every denial as a question: what upstream decision made this claim deniable, and how do we make sure the next one isn't?

Key takeaways

By the end of the session, viewers will be able to translate insight into a concrete plan. The through-line is simple: denial prevention beats denial recovery every time, because prevented denials cost nothing to work and never delay cash.

  • A root-cause taxonomy you can apply to your own denial data.
  • A prioritization method that focuses appeals effort on recoverable dollars.
  • A blueprint for moving checks upstream into the pre-submission workflow.
  • A short, defensible set of denial KPIs for leadership reporting.
Prevention compounds. Every preventable denial you eliminate at the source removes not just one lost claim, but the recurring rework, follow-up, and cash delay that denial would have generated month after month.

From best practices to an adaptive system

The practices in this webinar work on their own — but they scale further when the system itself learns. Our denial intelligence capability applies predictive scoring to flag at-risk claims before submission and feeds every payer response back into its models, so the prevention edge sharpens over time. Paired with analytics and executive insights, leaders get a live view of denial trends and recovery performance instead of a monthly rear-view report. You can explore the full approach on our platform overview, and find more RCM guidance on the MangoWorks.AI blog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the denial management webinar really on-demand?

Yes. The session is pre-recorded and available to stream at any time, so you can watch it start to finish or jump to the agenda segment most relevant to your team's current priorities.

What is the difference between denial recovery and denial prevention?

Denial recovery is working and appealing denials after payers issue them; it recovers some revenue but costs staff time and delays cash. Denial prevention moves checks upstream so preventable denials never occur — it is faster, cheaper, and the primary focus of this webinar.

Do I need to be a MangoWorks.AI customer to watch?

No. The webinar is an educational resource open to any revenue cycle leader. The best practices apply regardless of the systems you run today.
