The Dual Perspective Advantage for Denials Management and Prevention

Nov 6, 2026

Most denials vendors position themselves as advocates for the provider and follow the provider’s lead. In this video, Sarah Armstrong, CEO of Trend, explains why Trend takes a different approach: helping providers understand the payer’s perspective, including the gaps that may have contributed to a denial, so they can close them and move forward.

• Why Trend tells customers what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear
• How understanding the payer helps you anticipate how appeal letters and levels of care will be interpreted
• Why teaching providers about payers is part of Trend’s role in the industry
• How the “encyclopedia” analogy applies: giving your team more books on the shelf, whether through Trend’s technology or your own
