Are outdated payment integrity thresholds quietly costing your organization millions?

For years, the industry has focused on high-dollar recoveries while overlooking the systemic issues hiding in lower-dollar claims. In this whitepaper, TREND Health Partners challenges long-standing assumptions and explains why true payment integrity isn’t about how much you recover, but how much you permanently fix.

Inside, you’ll learn how modern analytics and automation change the economics of payment integrity, why small-dollar claims hold outsized insight, and how transparency and root-cause resolution lead to lasting improvement, not repeat findings. If your strategy is still built around old cutoffs and recovery-only metrics, this paper offers a clear case for what comes next.
