How to Recover Hidden Revenue with Utilization Management

Hospitals today face increasing financial pressures, from shrinking reimbursements to rising operational costs. A critical yet often overlooked contributor to revenue leakage is inefficient utilization management (UM). Without real-time visibility and expert oversight, hospitals risk compliance violations, denied claims, and lost revenue from inaccurate patient status determinations.

Why Utilization Management is a Revenue Game-Changer

Proper utilization management enables hospitals to capture the revenue they’ve earned for the quality care delivered while maintaining compliance with ever-changing regulations.

Here’s how:

• Accurate Patient Status Determination – Ensuring patients’ status determinations are correctly assigned an inpatient or observation status from the start and throughout their continuum of care prevents revenue loss and future denials.
• Consistent Review Processes – Hospitals must review cases at the right time and with the right resources to optimize revenue capture.
• 24/7 Oversight – Gaps in UM coverage during nights, weekends, and staff transitions can lead to missed opportunities for proper reimbursement.

Hospitals risk losing money without a seamless and user-friendly tool—or worse, facing compliance penalties for incorrect billing.
