SUMMARY:DFWHC and Moss Adams webinar "Denials Management"
DESCRIPTION:The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) and Moss Adams will co-host the webinar “Denials Management: An Integrated People-First Approach” on Thursday\, September 5 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\, CT.\n\nSpeakers will include Richard Riter\, a director at Moss Adams; Erin Ressler\, a director at Moss Adams; and Stephen Love\, President/CEO of DFWHC.\n\nPayer denials are a huge problem for providers—and it’s getting worse! They not only threaten providers’ financial health\, but they can also negatively impact patients’ experience. Many technology solutions are on the market\, but implementing these without understanding your processes—and without involving frontline people—can lock providers into ineffective processes. Join us for this webcast as we present an approach to denials reduction and management\, based on a lean approach to general revenue cycle improvement with a proven record of success over the last decade.\n\nYou can register here.\n\nFor information\, please contact Chris Wilson at chrisw@dfwhc.org.
