Key takeaways: Revenue cycle teams can use automation to reduce repetitive work and apply AI where data-driven prediction, matching or prioritization can improve a workflow. Experian Health’s 2025 State of Claims survey found that 41% of providers now face denial rates of 10% or higher, while 68% say submitting clean claims is more challenging than a year ago. Patient Access Curator™ (PAC) uses AI to support front-end data validation and insurance discovery, while AI Advantage™ helps teams predict denial risk and prioritize denial follow-up. Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation can support administrative work in healthcare. In the revenue cycle, teams depend on accurate information, timely decisions and efficient follow-up to keep claims moving. In revenue cycle management, AI and automation can help organizations reduce manual checks, find data gaps, predict denial risk and prioritize work queues. These tools are most useful when they support staff judgment, payer expertise and compliance oversight. They can handle repetitive, data-heavy tasks so staff can focus on exceptions and decisions that need human review. In 2023, McKinsey & Company reported that research suggests effectively deploying automation and analytics could eliminate $200 billion to $360 billion of spending in U.S. healthcare. For revenue cycle leaders, the practical question is where to apply those capabilities first. The case for applying AI and automation in healthcare Revenue cycle teams juggle many daily tasks. Staff collect and verify patient information, confirm eligibility, identify the right payer, submit clean claims, monitor status, work denials and manage collections. Small data gaps at the beginning of the process can create downstream rework and delays. Rework also consumes staff time, adding to these operational pressures. As costs rise and revenue cycles tighten, there is increasing pressure to do more with less. Experian Health’s 2025 State of Claims survey found that 54% of providers say claim errors are increasing and 90% of claim denials are reworked with at least some human review before resubmission. Providers are also managing broader financial and administrative pressures. The American Hospital Association has reported that prior authorization requirements, claim audits, denials and other payer policies add administrative burden and cost for hospitals and health systems. These requirements also consume staff time to appeal denials and manage payer processes. AI and automation are different but complementary. Automation follows defined rules to complete repeatable work. AI models can identify patterns in data, predict risk and help teams decide where to focus attention. When used together, they can support more consistent revenue cycle workflows. How AI and automation can support revenue cycle workflows Revenue cycle management automation and AI are most useful when tied to a specific workflow and a measurable operational problem. The goal is to help teams act earlier, reduce avoidable rework and focus staff time where judgment is needed most. For example, automation can complete rule-based eligibility checks. AI can help identify claims with a higher likelihood of denial. In insurance discovery workflows, AI can also help identify coverage that wasn’t captured at registration. When these tools fit into existing workflows, they can support more consistent decisions and reduce manual work. Three practical applications include: 1. Improving front-end data quality with Patient Access Curator Patient and coverage information collected early in the revenue cycle can affect downstream claim outcomes. Incomplete or outdated demographic details, eligibility responses, coordination of benefits or Medicare Beneficiary Identifier information can create problems that lead to claim delays or denials later in the cycle. Experian Health’s Patient Access Curator helps prevent claim denials by validating demographics, eligibility, insurance discovery, coordination of benefits and Medicare Beneficiary Identifier data in seconds. PAC’s AI and machine learning capabilities help improve match accuracy, coverage sequencing and data confidence by writing the validated data back into the host system and sequencing payers before the claim is created. This automates work that would otherwise require manual coverage checks. 2. Using insurance discovery to find coverage not captured at registration When active coverage isn’t identified during registration, claims may be delayed or submitted with incomplete insurance information. Insurance discovery looks for coverage that may not have been captured during registration. Patient Access Curator includes insurance discovery as part of its front-end validation workflow. It can help identify and correct missing or incorrect insurance information so claims can be submitted with more complete coverage data. 3. Using AI to prevent and prioritize denials Even with strong front-end processes, some claims still require additional attention. AI can help claims teams decide which claims to review before submission and which denials to work first after payer response. Experian Health’s AI Advantage supports two denial management use cases:1. AI Advantage – Predictive Denials uses a client’s historical claims data and Experian’s knowledge of payer rules to identify claims with a high likelihood of denial before submission so teams can take corrective action.2. AI Advantage – Denial Triage uses AI to segment denials and identify those with the highest potential for reimbursement. This approach can help teams prioritize with more confidence. Rather than treating every claim or denial the same way, teams can use predictive models to focus on the work that needs the most attention. Potential benefits of AI and automation in the revenue cycle A high-performing revenue cycle depends on timely, accurate and consistent work. AI and automation can help providers modernize that work without losing the expertise of the people who manage complex payer and patient situations every day. When applied to the right workflows, these tools can help organizations: Reduce manual data searches that take staff away from higher-value work Improve front-end data quality before claims are created Identify missing or incorrect coverage information earlier Spot claims that may be at higher risk of denial Prioritize denied claims by potential reimbursement Reduce rework caused by inaccurate or incomplete information Give staff more consistent information for follow-up decisions A focused AI strategy starts with the workflow problem, uses data that is relevant to that problem and keeps staff in control of judgment-based decisions. A more proactive approach to revenue cycle management Revenue cycle teams can move from reactive work toward a more proactive approach: catch errors earlier, validate coverage before claims are created and prioritize the claims and denials that need the most attention. Experian Health offers revenue cycle solutions that use AI and automation in targeted ways to support front-end data quality, reduce rework and manage denials. Patient Access Curator supports registration and coverage validation, while AI Advantage supports denial prediction and triage.

Key takeaways: Revenue cycle teams need contract modeling tools that keep pace with changing reimbursement methods and payer rules. Returning to Experian Health’s Contract Manager and Contract Analysis gave Prevea Health greater confidence in its reimbursement analysis, helping staff identify underpayments earlier and investigate payment variances more efficiently. The changes delivered measurable results, including more than $323,000 recovered per quarter from key procedure codes, a 50% reduction in manual audit time, faster payments and fewer days in accounts receivable. Challenge: Changing reimbursement rules put contract modeling to the test Revenue cycle teams rely on accurate contract models to determine how much they should be paid for each claim and to confirm that payments match the agreed terms. Maintaining these models is increasingly challenging as organizations handle hundreds of agreements with different reimbursement methods and frequently changing payer rules. Prevea Health experienced this firsthand. Processing up to 100,000 claims each month, the organization’s reimbursement analysis had become more demanding. The team needed more flexibility and visibility to help them model complex payment scenarios, simplify contract maintenance and calculate expected reimbursement with greater confidence. “Our modeling needs grew more complex, and we needed clearer visibility into our results and greater certainty in the outputs. That’s when we recognized how much we had relied on the precision, flexibility and clarity of Contract Manager and Contract Analysis to have confidence in the accuracy of our numbers.”Tony Walch, Revenue and Reimbursement Analyst at Prevea Health Solution: Contract modeling designed for precision, flexibility and clarity Prevea Health had successfully used Experian Health’s Contract Manager and Contract Analysis for many years before management changes prompted the organization to move contract performance work into Epic®. It soon became clear that those previous capabilities were needed again. Returning to Contract Manager and Contract Analysis gave the team a more reliable way to compare expected and actual reimbursement, investigate payment variances and identify underpayments. Multiple payer contracts could be modeled in one place, and advanced reporting tools allowed staff to filter and analyze real claims data to understand the financial impact of new payer requirements. The team could drill down to individual procedure codes to understand how different payer contracts reimbursed similar services in different departments. Implementation was structured to avoid interrupting the team’s day-to-day reimbursement analysis. Maintaining contract models using this approach would also be less resource-intensive. Experian Health analysts updated the contract logic to reflect changes such as Medicare base years, Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) updates and payer-specific reimbursement rules, helping improve accuracy without adding work for the team. Outcome: Better reimbursement analysis pays off Faster payments, fewer appeals and less time on follow-up Contract Manager and Contract Analysis gave Prevea Health the precision, flexibility and clarity they were looking for. Earlier identification of underpayments meant recoveries could begin sooner, while fewer payment discrepancies reached the appeals stage. Staff spent less time on manual audits and follow-up, payments moved through the revenue cycle more quickly and days in accounts receivable fell. This translated into measurable operational and financial improvements. Key results:– More than $323k recovered per quarter from key procedure codes – 50% reduction in manual audit time – Sustained improvement in payment variances – Faster payments and fewer days in accounts receivable Better analysis leads to better decisions For Walch, two capabilities made the biggest difference: a powerful modeling engine for testing different reimbursement scenarios and reporting tools that showed where revenue was being lost and where action was needed. Variance monitoring highlighted payment discrepancies early, so issues could be resolved before they affected revenue. “Even a small variance in modeling can have a significant impact,” said Walch. “Every undercharge we catch is revenue recovered and insight gained. It reflects how undercharge reporting revealed missed revenue, supported proactive corrections and improved long-term contract optimization, helping us stay ahead of issues rather than react to them.” With greater confidence in their financial analysis, staff could apply the insights to other revenue cycle initiatives. This included charge master optimization and identifying claims reimbursed under “lesser of” payment rules. Prevea Health’s renewed focus on accurate modeling and reimbursement visibility delivered clear operational and financial gains. Procedure code analysis became an ongoing tool for improving contract performance and budget planning. Undercharge reporting produced significant returns. Together, these tools continue to build a reliable foundation for greater financial decisions and better long-term performance.

Why are healthcare claims denied? Even the smallest mistakes on claims submission can trigger denials. Nearly 70% of providers say submitting clean claims is harder than it was a year ago, and 54% report an increase in claim errors, according to Experian Health’s 2025 State of Claims report. Some common reasons for healthcare claims denials include: Incomplete registration records: 26% of providers report that at least 10% of denials stem from inaccurate or incomplete data collected during registration. Missing patient information: Incomplete or incorrect patient data collected at registration triggers 32% of claim denials, according to Experian Health’s latest State of Claims report. Inaccurate insurance data: Outdated patient insurance information, missing coverage or mistakes made when entering insurance data during registration can lead to rejected or denied claims. Eligibility verification errors: Mistakes during manual eligibility checks or incomplete insurance eligibility verification are common causes of denials. Prior authorization issues: 35% of claim denials are triggered when prior authorizations aren’t obtained or don’t fully meet prior authorization requirements before claims submission. Coding inaccuracies: Missing medical billing codes and coding errors account for 24% of denials. Nearly half of providers say that coding errors are one of the top three most preventable claims errors in the latest Experian Health Claim Denial Management survey. Coordination of benefits (COB) errors: Coordinating benefits across several payers is a complex process and mistakes that lead to denials are common, especially when COB is handled manually.
Understanding contract management for healthcare Key takeaways: Contract management in healthcare is about negotiating, executing and monitoring agreements so providers can check that they are being paid in line with their contracts. Managing contracts across hundreds of payers and changing regulatory requirements is complex. Automation, AI and analytics can streamline contract oversight and identify discrepancies earlier. Tools such as Experian Health’s Contract Manager help providers audit payer performance, flag underpayments and manage contracts more efficiently across the contract lifecycle. The front-end data problem behind claim denials Experian Health surveyed 200 healthcare leaders from January to February 2026 to better understand the reasons for claim denials and opportunities for improvement. What are eligibility-related claim denials? Eligibility-related claim denials happen when a payer denies a claim submission for reimbursement due to patient insurance issues. Inaccurate or missing patient insurance information is a top denial trigger and often starts at the front end, during registration. Evolving payer eligibility requirements and new regulatory mandates also make it challenging for providers to avoid eligibility issues that can lead to denials. The most common causes of eligibility errors in healthcare billing 1. Mistakes made during patient intake: Eligibility-related issues often begin during patient intake – especially when providers use manual registration processes, like paper forms. Incorrect patient information entered on the front-end can cause eligibility issues that lead to billing mistakes, reimbursement issues and denials. Experian Health data shows that incomplete or missing insurance patient registration data is a top cause of claim denials, accounting for 32% of denials in 2025.

COVID-19 provided an unexpected use case for patient portals. In a matter of weeks, the benefits of remote patient access were undeniable. Patient portals allowed patients to schedule, register and pay for care from the comfort and safety of home. Now, as the latest omicron sub-variant triggers another surge in case numbers, providers are again reminded of the value in making digital channels available to minimize face-to-face interaction. With staffing shortages continuing and patient numbers rising, it’s worth recapping the benefits of patient portals. Why should healthcare providers prioritize patient portals? Here are 7 reasons: 1. Patient portals can be used to communicate safely with patients as Covid-19 cases rise Health officials may be cautious about reinstating extreme measures in response to the latest wave of infections. However, they can’t afford to be complacent about an uptick in hospital admissions. Patient portals can mitigate the risks associated with increasing foot traffic by allowing patients to schedule and register for care without attending in person. Completing paperwork from home eliminates the need for patients to share clipboards or sit in stuffy waiting rooms, while online scheduling platforms enable staff to manage the flow of patients safely and efficiently. Remote patient monitoring, secure messaging and online prescription refill requests can also be managed via portals, further reducing the need for in-person visits. 2. They can ease pressure on understaffed teams Providers need to find efficient ways to handle the administrative workload that comes with higher patient volumes. It’s even tougher given increasing retirement and resignation figures. More nurses are embracing the occupational benefits of remote and virtual care and are opting to switch from high-stress facilities to telehealth positions. While this speaks to the growth and impact of remote healthcare, it leaves a gap to be filled in hospitals. Patient portals can alleviate some of the burdens by reducing the need for staff input at various points in the patient journey. For example, online scheduling reduces the number of calls to call centers. Pre-filled data and automated registration can reduce the risk of errors during patient intake, which are time-consuming to fix. Portals can also be used to help patients navigate the payments process, speeding up collections and reducing the time staff spend chasing payments. 3. Patient portals can address inefficient patient access workflows Because patient portals are tethered to the patient’s electronic health record (EHR), they provide a hub for every piece of data relating to the patient. Patients can access that golden record at any time. They get an engaging and transparent experience, and are less likely to call up to ask questions – they already have the answers. They can also check data to make sure that it’s accurate, which helps avoid the delays and misunderstandings that cause friction for patient access teams. It’s important to ensure that the portal itself doesn’t introduce friction. Patients need to be able to enroll in the portal without too much trouble. Automating the patient enrollment process and implementing a multi-layered identity-proofing solution can create a secure and efficient way for patients to get the most out of their portal, without compromising safety or efficiency. 4. To improve patient engagement and meet consumer expectations One of the biggest reasons to invest in patient portals is because patients say they want them. Research from Experian Health and PYMNTS found that 44.1% of patients have obtained test results through patient portals, while 18% used patient portals to fill out forms for their most recent healthcare visit. Overall, two-thirds said they use patient portals. Beyond offering a convenient patient experience, this is also a matter of patient loyalty and retention: 61% of patients say they’d consider switching providers to one that offered a patient portal, which could have a significant impact on revenue. 5. They can boost revenue by offering easy ways to pay Experian and PYMNTS research shows that around a fifth of patients uses their portal to make payments. Unfortunately, 16% of those patients said they’d faced difficulty viewing invoices, setting up payment plans and making payments through their portal, which suggests some room for improvement. Experian Health’s Patient Payment Solutions solves these challenges. A range of self-service, mobile-optimized tools simplify the patient financial journey by giving patients upfront pricing estimates, personalized payment plans and easy ways to pay. 6. Using patient portals can improve health outcomes (especially for “frequent flyers”) Patient portals also play an important role in promoting better health outcomes for patients. Research shows that when patients have access to their medical information, they feel empowered and prepared to speak to their doctor and adhere to care strategies. Multiple providers can engage with the patient through the same platform, and see what other treatments are being prescribed. This helps improve communication between the patient and provider and helps improve care management. It’s especially useful for older patients and those with chronic conditions. In this way, portals support effective care coordination, helping value-based care providers achieve their goals of reducing healthcare costs, promoting population health and closing the gaps in care that have widened over the last few years. 7. Patient portals can support compliance with price transparency regulations Finally, portals offer a route to ensuring compliance with new regulatory requirements around price transparency. The No Surprises Act and hospital price transparency rule call on providers to give patients accurate, upfront cost estimates so they can plan for their financial responsibility more easily. Patient Payment Estimates can be delivered in several ways, including through patient portals. And as noted, once the patient has their estimate, they can also be directed to easy and convenient payment methods, including through their portal. Whether it’s a surge in COVID-19 cases, rising inflation, or labor shortages, providers must find ways to build resilience, stay competitive, and continue to offer patients the flexible and transparent healthcare experience they desire. Patient portals should be part of the plan to open the digital front door.
