SmarterDx chart review and claims appeals

UHS reported tens of millions in net new revenue from AI-assisted documentation and revenue-cycle work

WorkingCompany's own claim

Problem

Missed diagnoses and gaps in clinical documentation could leave UHS with incomplete claims. Appealing denied claims also required staff time.

Approach

UHS used SmarterDx for an automated second review of patient charts to find documentation gaps and missed diagnoses. Its joint conference account also described AI-generated appeals completed in minutes. The reported revenue gain covered the broader documentation and revenue-cycle work.

Results

Takeaway

The deployment connected chart review with claims recovery. The reported revenue gain was not separated between documentation review and appeals.
