Work comp bill review is falling further behind

Rubber knife meet gun.

Things in work comp bill review are about to get even tougher.

Three companies just merged to create a giant Revenue Cycle Management firm. Smarter Technologies has the size, resources, technology and expertise to ensure its customers - healthcare systems, hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, clinics and provider practices - extract every last penny from employers and taxpayers.

Smarter Technologies now has 27,000 employees and 24 global service centers serving more than 200 clients, and over 60 hospitals and health systems. The company will support more than 500,000 providers, process more than 400 million transactions and manage over $200 billion in combined revenue managed annually.

Compare Smarter Technologies’ size and resources to your bill review operation.

Smarter Technologies offerings include Smarteraccess, a modular RCM service designed for hospitals, health systems and industry partners, combining proprietary virtual agents augmented with leading human operators to manage the complexity of healthcare;

SmarterDx, an insights engine that uses proprietary agentic AI, machine learning, and over 2,200 custom algorithms to surface new revenue and quality opportunities and

Thoughtful.ai, which leverages proprietary agentic agents, natural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR) and machine learning (ML) as well as advanced AI that adapts and learns from each interaction, to address all key RCM functions of a provider organization.

The company claims that SmarterDx delivers an average of $2 million in net new annual revenue per 10,000 patient discharges for clients, providing a day one, 5:1 ROI to over 40 leading health systems spanning 180 hospital sites leveraging the clinical AI offering.

What does this mean for you?

Ask your work comp bill review platform/vendor how it will protect you and your clients from this incredibly powerful and well-resourced RCM operation.

And, just maybe start assessing BR not on how cheap it is but on the actual cost of care - NOT “savings” - it delivers.

Don’t settle for bromides and BS.
