We were recently featured in a Blogorama article titled “CO 109 Denial Code: A Comprehensive Guideline.” The article references our 2025 Benchmark Report data on the increasing pressure healthcare providers face from rising denial rates and payer audits.

By implementing proper verification standards and following the prevention strategies outlined in the guide, providers can reduce these denials by up to 50 percent and improve first pass payment rates.
