Revenue Cycle Optimized

Payer changes rarely stay in one corner of the revenue cycle. A new product, network change, authorization requirement, or payer configuration can start as a contract update and end up as a patient-access problem, a claim rejection, a denial, or delayed cash.

Patient access is no longer a collection of isolated administrative tasks. In this episode, Lindsey Nelson explores how the Patient Access Services model is evolving, why streamlined front-office operations are increasingly tied to financial health, and what healthcare organizations should consider as they move toward a more connected approach to patient access.

Traditional AR strategies often prioritize aging claims, but the oldest claim isn't always the claim worth working next. In this episode, Anthony Amaya shares his perspective on yield efficiency and how prediction, intelligent prioritization, automation, and targeted human intervention can help revenue cycle teams get more value from every collection effort.

Outdated insurance information and incomplete registration can send a claim into rework long after the patient’s visit. Stuart Newsome explains how to trace those problems back to their source and put a practical check in place before the next claim inherits them.

January reverification is more than an eligibility exercise. Stuart Newsome looks at how benefit resets can expose front-office gaps in capacity, handoffs, exception management, and authorization, and what organizations can do to prepare before the new year begins. Brought to you by www.infinx.com

A clean sample of claims does not necessarily mean an organization is capturing every eligible charge. In this conversation recorded live at the Infinx Revenue Cycle Thought Leadership Executive Forum, Jason Adams discusses how technology can expand charge capture reviews, why clinical validation matters, and what it takes to correct the underlying problems.

Revenue cycle delays often begin when one team finishes its work but the next team lacks what it needs to move forward. In this RCMinutes episode, Stuart Newsome explains how to examine one troublesome handoff, clarify responsibility, and use workflow visibility to prevent downstream rework and patient frustration.

For a high-volume radiology organization, reverification involves more than running eligibility a second time. This episode explores how to identify the right appointments, time the work appropriately, and respond when updated coverage changes the patient estimate, network status, or prior authorization requirements.

An hour-long roundtable discussion brought four tables together to examine revenue cycle pressure, hidden revenue opportunities, barriers to action, and what leaders need to validate next. Hear their report-outs and Stuart Newsome’s perspective on turning those observations into a focused starting point for improvement.

Revenue cycle workflows are designed around standard cases, but recurring exceptions can quietly consume the team’s capacity. This RCMinutes episode explores how to categorize that work, route it by urgency and complexity, and address the upstream problems that keep refilling the queue.

Stuart Newsome sits down with Infinx colleagues Heather Riley Swanson and Nathan Skorick following Becker’s to hear what stood out from their time at the conference. Drawing on sessions and conversations throughout the event, the group considers where AI and revenue cycle strategy appear to be heading and whether the conference messaging matches the problems health systems are trying to solve. Bro...

Temporary fixes have a habit of becoming permanent revenue cycle processes, adding extra touches, inconsistent outcomes, and operational risk. This RCMinutes episode examines the hidden cost of workarounds and offers a practical way to replace them with workflows that can actually scale.

Recorded at the Becker’s Health IT + RCM Conference in Chicago, this special episode brings together perspectives from healthcare leaders on what’s changing in revenue cycle, where challenges remain, and how technology is shaping the work. Brought to you by www.infinx.com

Organization-wide revenue cycle metrics can look healthy while individual specialties quietly lose revenue through missed charges, authorization breakdowns, coding issues, and payer-specific rules. This episode explains how to uncover those hidden problems and turn specialty knowledge into more reliable workflows.

A successful reverification effort starts before anyone reruns eligibility. This episode looks at the decisions organizations need to make about who should be reverifed, what information they actually need, and what should happen when something changes. Brought to you by www.infinx.com

Jason Adams examines how missed charges, documentation gaps, payer friction, and disconnected workflows allow revenue to quietly slip through the cracks. He discusses how health systems can strengthen charge capture, improve operational visibility, validate financial impact, and build a sustainable approach to revenue recovery. The featured session was recorded at the Infinx Healthcare Revenue Cyc...

Staffing shortages may appear first as growing work queues or slower follow-up, but their financial impact can remain hidden for months. This episode looks at practical steps revenue cycle teams can take now to protect capacity, prevent backlogs, and keep today’s staffing challenge from becoming tomorrow’s cash problem.

Healthcare has made enormous progress in digitizing payments, yet paper checks, remittance documents, statements, and manual reconciliation are still part of the revenue cycle. Monte Sandler, COO of WebPT, joins us to discuss why these workflows persist and what providers can do to finally move beyond them. Brought to you by www.infinx.com

Automating eligibility and benefits verification takes more than establishing a connection to a payer. Benj Kamm explains how data quality, calibration, payer variation, and exception handling determine whether automation produces a complete and usable result.

Denial prevention requires healthcare organizations to look beyond back-end recovery and address the operational breakdowns that cause claims to be denied. Taylor Searfoss explains how stronger processes, cross-functional collaboration, and practical uses of AI can reduce rework and protect margins.

Radiology revenue cycle teams are being stretched by prior authorization complexity, staffing shortages, payer policy changes, fragmented systems, and denials that often begin long before the claim is submitted. This episode features a session at RBMA Founder’s Day 2026 where Stuart Newsome shared common themes emerging from real radiology practice conversations and explored the operational breaki...

AI delivers value in the revenue cycle when it is built into well-designed workflows supported by reliable data, governance, and clear measures of performance. Navaneeth Nair, Chief Product Officer at Infinx Healthcare, joins Stuart Newsome to discuss where AI is working today, from prior authorization and coding to denial prevention, recovery, and enterprise workflow orchestration.

Revenue cycle may be complicated, but managing it should not require constant executive attention. The goal is an operation dependable enough that leaders can focus on the exceptions instead of wondering whether the entire process is working.

The beginning of a new benefit year can create a major eligibility and benefits reverification surge for physical therapy and occupational therapy organizations. In this episode, healthcare leaders will explore how intelligent automation, flexible workflows, and operational support can help manage January volume while protecting staff capacity, patient access, and revenue.

Tom Jackiewicz, President of the University of Chicago Health System, examines the financial and workforce pressures forcing health systems to reconsider how they grow and deliver care. He shares why physician engagement, operational focus, and a willingness to embrace change will be essential in the years ahead.
