A U.S.-based urgent care center partnered with Lister to improve its Revenue Cycle Management operations shortly after launching services with multiple rendering providers. Within the initial months of billing, the center began experiencing recurring claim rejections from a major payer due to provider enrollment issues. Lister conducted a detailed denial analysis and identified that while the center held an active group payer contract, only the lead physician was properly linked to the agreement, causing claims submitted under their individual NPIs to be rejected. Through proactive denial analysis, credentialing expertise, and payer coordination, Lister helped the urgent care center stabilize reimbursements, protect cash flow, and strengthen its revenue cycle foundation for continued growth.
