The most frequent issues include incorrect CPT codes, missing modifiers, inaccurate patient data, late claim submissions, and unappealed denials. Each of these can significantly reduce reimbursement.

Many practices lack detailed audits or error-tracking systems. Staff often focus on submitting new claims instead of reviewing denied or underpaid ones, allowing errors to slip by undetected.

Lost revenue affects cash flow, increases staff workload, delays practice growth, and may even lower patient satisfaction when billing errors cause confusion or repeated statements.

Yes. Automated billing software can catch coding mistakes, flag missing data, and track denials faster than manual systems. While not foolproof, it reduces human error dramatically.

Immediate audits should be performed, and workflows must be updated. Training staff, implementing automation, and working with RCM experts helps prevent recurring mistakes and recovers lost revenue.
