Top 5 Revenue Mistakes Clinics Make-and How to Avoid Them

Running a clinic is about more than patient care-it’s also about keeping your financial engine healthy. Yet many practices unknowingly leak revenue every day.

From coding errors to delayed claim submissions, small oversights compound into major financial stress.


Common Mistakes

  • Not verifying patient insurance eligibility before visits.
  • Submitting incomplete or inaccurate documentation.
  • Ignoring denial management workflows.
  • Lack of staff training in new billing regulations.
  • Delays in claim submission beyond payer deadlines.

Fixing these can boost collections significantly, often without adding new patients.
