administrative inefficiencies that can significantly affect an organization’s financial health. This paper examines the primary causes of claim denials, evaluates their impact on
healthcare organizations, and outlines practical strategies for reducing denial rates
through process improvement, technology adoption, staff education, and proactive
revenue cycle management.
