Revenue Cycle Efficiency Starts Before the Claim Is Submitted

Many revenue cycle challenges in 2026 originate well before a claim is ever submitted. Incomplete documentation, coding ambiguity, and workflow gaps upstream often lead to denials or delayed payments downstream. Fixing these issues after submission is costly and time-consuming.

Efficient billing begins with strong front-end processes that ensure accuracy from the start. This includes documentation review, coding validation, and payer-specific submission protocols. When these elements are aligned, claims move through payer systems faster and with fewer interruptions.

D’Souza and Associates emphasizes proactive revenue cycle management that addresses issues at their source. By strengthening early-stage processes, we reduce the need for rework and accelerate reimbursement timelines.

In today’s billing landscape, efficiency isn’t about working faster—it’s about working smarter from the beginning.
