2. Be aware of acceptable denial rates for ASCs. Ideally, the denial rate should be 5 percent or less.
3. Use automation to help with audits. Auditing for quantity and the amount of work completed is the easiest way to use automation, as nearly all revenue cycle tasks should be documented in the ASC’s system. However, quality auditing may need to be completed manually.
