On-Demand Webinar: Recoupments 101: The Biggest RCM Problem No One’s Talking About

For ASCs and ambulatory providers, recoupments can be devastating. A single payer takeback can wipe out weeks or margin, strain small billing teams and trigger rework that outpatient workflows aren’t built to handle.

Yet recoupments – also called takebacks or chargebacks – remain one of the least understood revenue cycle risks in ambulatory care.

This on-demand webinar breaks down how recoupments work in ASC and ambulatory settings and why treating them like denials puts organizations at risk.

Attendees will take away a clear, practical primer on payer audits, retroactive adjustments and provider-level balances, with a focus on how these issues uniquely impact outpatient revenue cycles.

Learnings include:

  • Recoupment terminology and why confusion costs ASCs real dollars,
  • The true financial and operational impact on ambulatory revenue cycles,
  • How payer audits and retroactive adjustments drive outpatient takebacks,
  • Why denial workflows fail in ASC environments, and
  • How visibility and automation can help ambulatory teams regain control.

Whitepaper: The Revenue Cycle Automation Library – 15 Solutions

Denials are rising. Work is piling up. And hiring more staff isn’t a sustainable solution.

For today’s revenue leaders, small optimizations aren’t enough. It takes a new model – one where AI agents, robots and staff operate in sync to handle complex, high-volume tasks at speed.

That’s what this automation library delivers: 15 real-world examples of agentic automation driving measurable results across the revenue cycle, from eligibility and scheduling to denials and cash posting.

Learnings include:

  • How to reduce eligibility errors and prior authorization delays with agentic automation.
  • How to reclaim revenue with better edits, faster appeals and fewer manual steps.
  • How to free staff to focus on patients and not portals, paperwork or rework.

The Biggest IT Risks Facing Health Systems in 2026

As health systems enter 2026, chief medical information officers say the biggest IT risks are operational, financial and clinical – and many are converging at once. From ransomware threats to unchecked AI adoption, CMIOs describe a landscape in which the margin for error is shrinking just as digital dependence deepens.

5 Risks CMIOs say health systems should be watching for:

  • Cybersecurity threats are expanding and getting harder to contain.
  • AI is moving faster than governance structures.
  • Costs are colliding with constrained resources.
  • Poorly integrated tools are fueling workforce fatigue.
  • Data integrity and interoperability gaps remain unresolved.

Webinar: From Retrospective to Real Time: Transforming CMS Star Rating and Leapfrog Objectives into Bedside Action, February 17

Hospitals are under constant pressure to perform in quality programs like CMS Star Ratings, Leapfrog, VBP and HRRP, yet most manage these initiatives retrospectively, through lagging metrics and after-action reviews.

The delay creates blind spots: frontline teams don’t know about the 10% of patients who drive the majority of CMS Star Ratings and other quality programs, or how to intervene in time to change outcomes.

This webinar shares how leading hospitals are connecting enterprise quality targets with real-time patient identification, risk stratification and care team activation, while patients are still in the bed.

Key takeaways:

  • Translate enterprise priorities into patient-level flags staff can act on daily,
  • Identify cohorts driving readmissions, mortality, and cost before discharge, and
  • Link stratified risk to workflows across rounding, discharge and care coordination.

Cost: Free

When: Tuesday, February 17, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
