How Effective Denial Management Can Recover 15–25% Lost Revenue for Your Medical Practice

For many U.S. medical practices, claim denials feel like an unavoidable part of billing. But the truth is: over 80% of denied claims are preventable, and more importantly—65% of denied claims are never resubmitted.

This means clinics silently lose thousands of dollars every month without realizing it.

A structured, proactive denial management system can help practices recover this lost revenue, strengthen cash flow, and achieve faster reimbursements. Here’s how Fidelity Med Billing approaches denial management—and why it makes such a powerful difference.

Understanding the Real Cost of Claim Denials

Claim denials are more than just temporary delays—they create:

  • Lost revenue
  • Administrative burden
  • Staff burnout
  • Higher cost-per-claim
  • Increased days in A/R

On average:

  • One denied claim costs $25–$32 to rework
  • Denials contribute to 30–35% revenue leakage
  • Insurance errors increased by 23% from 2023 to 2025

Without a strong denial management process, your practice is essentially leaving money on the table.

Common Reasons Claims Get Denied

Most denials come from avoidable issues such as:

1. Incorrect or outdated patient information

2. Coding errors and wrong modifiers

3. Lack of medical necessity documentation

4. Eligibility not verified before service

5. Duplicate claims submitted

6. Timely filing issues

7. Payer-specific rule changes
