Matt Seefeld discusses solutions to denials in the revenue cycle

Healthcare organizations are navigating rising administrative complexity, growing denial rates, and increasing pressure to operate more efficiently

At the MGMA Summit, MedEvolve CEO Matt Seefeld joined industry leaders to discuss where AI, automation, and operational discipline can help organizations improve performance—and where technology alone isn’t enough.

Watch highlights from the session to learn how healthcare leaders are approaching these challenges today.

What You'll Learn

Front-end issues like eligibility verification and prior authorization errors often trigger downstream administrative work and lost revenue.

Technology can improve efficiency, but success depends on strong processes, accountability, and high-quality data.

Moving beyond lagging indicators to measure performance in real time can help organizations identify and correct issues earlier.

Financial pressure, administrative complexity, and avoidable denials can impact healthcare delivery—especially for rural hospitals and smaller systems.
