We were proud to have our 2025 Annual Benchmark Report featured in Healthcare Business Today in the article 2025 Report: Denials, Coding Errors, And Audit Risk Rise. The piece covers the report’s core findings, including the 14% and 12% increases in average outpatient and inpatient denial amounts, the 30% surge in total at-risk amounts from external payer audits, and the continued rise in outpatient coding-related denials. CEO Ritesh Ramesh is quoted directly, reinforcing the central message that reactively addressing denials after the fact is no longer a financially viable strategy for health systems operating in today’s environment.
The Healthcare Business Today feature extends the reach of our benchmark data to a broad audience of healthcare business and finance leaders who are navigating these exact pressures every day. The silver lining our report identifies is real: organizations that are adopting data-driven, proactive audit and pre-bill workflows are seeing measurable results, and that is precisely the kind of shift our platform is designed to support.
