The analysis revealed several critical challenges in managing Medicare and Medicaid payments. Effective management of revenue cycles, accurate coding, and compliance with regulatory requirements are crucial for maximizing reimbursements and minimizing financial risks. Providers are increasingly adopting value-based care models to enhance patient experience and financial incentives (Bethke et al., 2020). Reducing clinical and technical denials is crucial for optimizing payer reimbursement and ensuring financial sustainability for healthcare providers. By implementing proactive strategies such as enhancing documentation practices, staying current with coding guidelines, leveraging advanced technology, and streamlining revenue cycle management processes, healthcare providers can mitigate denials and improve reimbursement outcomes (Wisness, 2024). Effective strategies identified include thorough staff training, robust data management systems, and proactive revenue cycle management. The implications for practice management are substantial, as mastering these complexities can lead to improved financial performance, better compliance with regulations, and enhanced quality of care. Staying informed on the latest rules and regulations, utilizing technology, implementing denial management programs, and negotiating for higher reimbursement rates can help healthcare managers maximize the revenue and achieve financial stability (Bethke et al., 2020).
