We were proud to have our 2025 Annual Benchmark Report featured in Electronic Health Reporter in the article MDaudit’s 2025 Benchmark Report Reveals Ongoing Acceleration of Payer Audits, Troubling Rise in Denials and Outpatient Coding Issues. The report, drawn from real-world data across more than 1.2 million providers and 4,500 facilities, documents a year of intensifying payer pressure, with average denied amounts rising in both inpatient and outpatient settings, external payer audit volumes up 30%, and outpatient coding-related denials climbing another 26% on top of the dramatic spike seen in 2024.
The feature reinforces the central message of this year’s report: reactive denial management is no longer a viable strategy. Provider organizations that invest in continuous risk monitoring, proactive audit workflows, and data-driven coding integrity are the ones best positioned to protect revenue and maintain financial sustainability heading into 2026. It is exactly the shift our platform is built to support, and we are glad to see this data reaching the broader healthcare compliance and revenue cycle community.
