Small volume.
Big leakage.
Fixable cash.
Workers’ Compensation can look too small to prioritize—until the denials, paper remits, state rules, TPA routing, PPO reductions, and old AR are isolated from the rest of the revenue cycle.
A focused 12-month review turns that noise into a prioritized plan for cash, proof, payment integrity, and old AR.
Multiple facilities. Multiple states. Multiple TPAs. Without consistent claim proof, complexity turns into avoidable rework.
“Paid” doesn’t mean correct. Fee schedule errors, invalid discounts, paper EOB variance, and missed disputes continue to hide revenue.
Generic RCM workflows weren’t built for Workers’ Compensation. Employer, adjuster, payer, jurisdiction, and documentation logic demand something more specialized.
Don’t guess. Quantify. A 12-month analysis shows exactly where leakage exists—before adding headcount or changing vendors.
Workers’ Compensation isn’t just a billing problem. It’s a control problem.
For health systems, leakage doesn’t start at denial—and it doesn’t stop at payment. It builds across intake, routing, proof, remits, and disputes. The issue isn’t one bad claim. It’s an unmanaged pattern.
State and jurisdiction logic
Workers’ Compensation billing requires full alignment—employer, carrier, TPA, adjuster, claim number, jurisdiction, authorization, and documentation—before the claim even drops.
Proof beats rebilling
Paper and portal workflows make disputes harder to win. Verified delivery and traceable fallback routes eliminate blind rebill cycles.
Paid isn’t always correct
Fee schedules, PPO reductions, provider rules, and bulk payments can obscure underpayments—even after revenue is posted.
Where Workers’ Compensation revenue actually gets stuck.
These aren’t edge cases—they’re patterns. If any of these exist in your Workers’ Compensation financial class, they belong in your action plan.
Hidden financial class
Workers’ Compensation can be small in visible revenue share but large in denial, rework, payment variance, and old AR cost.
Jurisdiction front-end gap
Payer, bill-to, adjuster, claim, authorization, and state rules have to match before the claim drops.
No-claim-on-file loop
Paper and portal workflows make “we never got it” harder to beat. Proof of receipt changes the conversation.
State schedule variance
Expected allowed amount depends on state, provider type, service line, PPO/bill-review logic, and rules.
PPO and bill-review leakage
Discounts and reductions need authentication. Unknown networks and vague repricing signals are not enough.
Appeal clock pressure
Every state and payer has different dispute requirements. Faster first action protects more cash.
How much is actually at risk?
Use this as a directional gut check. The analysis replaces estimates with your actual payer, denial, remit, and AR data—so you’re acting on reality, not assumptions.
Estimated opportunity from denial-rate gap only. Excludes old AR recovery, underpayments, invalid discounts, interest/penalties, and operating cost savings.
Skip the presentation. Start with answers.
The analysis is built to show the fastest path to cash—without forcing your team to stand up a specialized Workers’ Compensation operation internally.
Denial leakage
Preventable denials, root causes, facility patterns, payer patterns, and front-end control failures.
Connectivity
Digital claim route coverage, proof of receipt, attachment handling, and paper fallback exposure.
Payment integrity
Paid-vs-expected variance, fee schedule logic, PPO/bill-review reductions, and remit visibility.
Appeal speed
Time from remit or denial to first action, dispute documentation, and state/payer deadline risk.
Old AR
Aged balances, partially paid high-dollar claims, write-offs, and recoverable dispute segments.
You already have all the information we need.
Start with 12 months of Workers’ Compensation activity and your current ATB. UHS will identify how much you will recover and will develop a strategy for you to collect the outstanding payments where recovery is most likely—so you can focus on the highest-yield opportunities first.
