We were proud to have our 2025 benchmark data featured in HMP Global Learning Network’s Rising Denials and Payer Audits Intensify Financial Strain on Hospitals in 2025, authored by Lisa Kuhns, PhD, MD. The article draws directly on MDaudit’s analysis of data from more than 1.2 million providers and 4,500 facilities, covering the 30% year-over-year increase in total at-risk audit amounts, the 18% rise in average at-risk amount per claim, and denial spikes across telehealth, Medicare Advantage, and outpatient coding categories. CEO Ritesh Ramesh is quoted directly, calling out the unsustainable cost of reactive denial management for health systems already under significant financial pressure.
HMP Global Learning Network serves revenue cycle and financial management professionals who are navigating these pressures in real time, making it a meaningful outlet for our benchmark findings. The article also references industry-wide data confirming the trend, including health system earnings calls citing payer denials as a durable financial headwind. It is a reminder that the challenges our data documents are not isolated events but a systemic shift that demands a proactive, technology-driven response.
