Becker's Recaps October Revenue Cycle Trends, Denials, Deals
In its monthly revenue cycle roundup, Becker's Hospital Review compiles ten developments from October, including survey data showing 40% of providers report at least 10% of claims denied, a Cedar/Health Management Academy report on rising patient financial responsibility, and leadership changes at Xsolis and Knowtion Health. The digest also covers provider pushback against Elevance Health's new site-of-care billing requirements, patients appealing denials directly to insurer CEOs, Texas Health Resources' shift toward bulk denial-pattern resolution, and a CMS-Labor-Treasury final rule requiring payers to strip "ghost rates" from price transparency files with executive attestation. These items span payer-provider billing friction, price transparency enforcement, and revenue cycle vendor strategy. No single new regulatory action is reported beyond the already-finalized transparency rule noted in item nine.
