    Workers Comp Unwrapped Episode 415: Case Study: How One Clinic Cut Denials by 35% in 60 Days

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Workers Comp Unwrapped, Aneeq and Angela dive into a real-world case study of how one clinic reduced claim denials by 35% in just 60 days—without a major tech overhaul. Angela draws on her 15 years of industry experience to break down what actually made the difference: fixing inconsistent intake processes and improving RFA (Request for Authorization) workflows. From missing patient and employer details to delayed and incomplete RFAs, the clinic was facing common—but costly—operational gaps. The discussion highlights how simple, structured changes—like standardized intake checklists, pre-submission RFA reviews, and better timeline management—can significantly improve claim quality and approval rates. Aneeq keeps the conversation engaging (and a bit controversial), challenging the idea that technology alone solves problems. Instead, this episode emphasizes that better processes—not just better tools—are the real drivers of success. Key takeaway: Most denials are preventable. With consistent workflows and accountability, clinics can reduce errors, speed up approvals, and improve overall financial performance. Tune in for practical insights and a reminder that sometimes the biggest wins come from getting the basics right.
