Auditing payer contracts for payment accuracy

In today's rapidly evolving healthcare environment, ensuring payment accuracy is critical to maintaining a strong financial foundation.  Insurance payer contracts are complex and often riddled with ambiguous terms and hidden discrepancies that can lead to underpayments, delayed reimbursements, and revenue leakage. This webinar will explore the strategic importance of auditing healthcare insurance payer contracts and how regular audits can drive significant financial improvements for healthcare providers.  Attendees will walk away with practical insights into best practices for contract review, common pitfalls to watch for, and tools to identify discrepancies in claims and reimbursements. Whether you're in healthcare finance, revenue cycle management, or compliance, this session will equip you with the knowledge to improve contract performance and ensure your organization is paid accurately and timely.

Webinar Objectives

Each payer operates with its own unique reimbursement structure, making it easy for discrepancies to occur—whether from claim processing errors, misinterpretation of contract terms, or outdated fee schedules.
