REVENUE OPTIMIZATION

Turn Compliance Issues
Into Revenue Recovery

Stop leaving money on the table. Our AI identifies missed billing opportunities, catches documentation gaps before submission, and ensures every report meets payer-specific requirements—recovering an average of 23% more revenue.

The Hidden Cost of Documentation Errors

Every missing field is lost revenue. Every denial is doubled work.

Insurance companies typically reimburse only 80% of ambulance charges—and that's when everything goes perfectly. Add documentation errors, missing medical necessity, or incomplete mileage logs, and that percentage drops dramatically. With denial rates averaging 15-20% industry-wide, agencies lose millions in recoverable revenue.

CareSwift's Revenue Optimization engine analyzes every report against current Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer requirements. We catch the missing modifiers, incomplete narratives, and documentation gaps that cause denials—before claims submission. The result? Higher first-pass acceptance rates, faster payment cycles, and recovered revenue that was previously written off.

Comprehensive Revenue Protection at Every Stage

  • Pre-Submission Optimization

    Catch issues before they become denials. Validate medical necessity documentation. Ensure all billable items captured. Verify payer-specific requirements met. Stop denials at the source.

  • Denial Pattern Analysis

    Learn from every rejection. Track denial reasons by payer. Identify systematic documentation gaps. Update rules to prevent repeat issues. Turn past denials into future revenue.

  • Retroactive Recovery

    Find money in closed charts. Identify unbilled services in past reports. Catch missed procedures and supplies. Generate amendment documentation. Recover revenue within filing deadlines.

Your Billing Team's Force Multiplier

Even the best billing teams can't catch everything. With hundreds of payer policies, constantly changing requirements, and thousands of reports to process, some revenue inevitably slips through. Our AI serves as a safety net, catching what human review might miss.

By automating the tedious validation work, your billing staff can focus on high-value activities like appeals, payer negotiations, and process improvement. The result is not just more revenue, but a more efficient, less stressed billing department.
