Every year, hospitals and clinics lose a huge amount of money—not from fraud or denied claims but from small, avoidable mistakes. A missed charge here, an incomplete note there—it all adds up. This quiet problem, revenue leakage, drains billions from the healthcare system.
Imagine this: A heart doctor sees a patient and provides expert care but is in a hurry and doesn't fully record what happened. A simple code is left out. Now, picture this happening across hundreds of providers every single day. That's millions of dollars slipping away.
This is where maxRVU makes a big difference. It's not just another billing app—it's a smart, easy-to-use solution that helps doctors capture every billable service in real-time with just a few taps. maxRVU is built for busy healthcare teams that want to stop losing money and focus on what they do best—caring for patients.
How Does Revenue Leakage Affect Healthcare Organizations?
You may not see revenue leakage clearly on financial reports, but it quietly harms a hospital's or clinic's income. Here's how it affects their overall financial health:
The Financial Impact of Missed or Incorrect Charge Entries
Missed or incorrect charges directly affect:
- Undercoding means less payment
.
- Charge errors can lead to audits and payment delays.
- Manual corrections and rebilling efforts slow the cycle and increase administrative overhead.
A 2022 MGMA report indicated that more than 1 in 5 medical claims are processed inaccurately, with charge capture errors among the top reasons.
