Identifying and Rectifying Medical Underpayment Discrepancies

Despite delivering quality care and adhering to billing protocols, many practices experience consistent underpayment from payers. Industry data reveals that providers lose $10,000–$25,000 annually per physician due to contractual underpayments and reimbursement inaccuracies. These losses often go unnoticed without thorough payment audits and denial trend analysis.
Steady Medical Billing specializes in recovering an average of 18–22% in unrecognized revenue through systematic underpayment identification. We combine advanced analytics with expert review to ensure every dollar earned is collected.
Common Causes

Downcoding, bundling errors, and payer-specific payment policies

Financial Impact
12–25% revenue leakage identified (per MGMA 2023 benchmarks)
Resolution Process
Advanced claim analytics paired with payer contract enforcement

Systemic Underpayment Challenges in Healthcare Revenue Cycles

Underpayments represent one of the most persistent and frequently overlooked revenue leakage points in medical billing. Unlike outright denials, these discrepancies often go undetected, resulting in six-figure annual losses for mid-sized practices.
