Why eligibility errors cost more than denials

A denied claim is expensive: rework, appeals, delay, and sometimes write-off. But the error that caused it often happened at the front desk, days before the visit.

Eligibility and authorization gaps are the quiet source of a large share of denials — and they are far cheaper to prevent than to appeal.

Structured front-end verification stops those errors before the claim is ever created, which is why HDT treats eligibility as a revenue function, not a clerical one.
