Strategic Revenue Designs

Identify, Prevent, and Recapture Revenue Loss

Our clients agree that double-digit revenue losses are both recoverable and preventable.

Strategic Revenue Designs (SRD) identifies and recovers systemic revenue losses driven by payer reimbursement avoidance tactics and system-level misalignment between payer rules, billing logic, and contractual payment frameworks—often persisting beyond the capabilities of standard billing processes.

SRD bridges the gap between submitted claims, payer behavior, and actual reimbursement using a proprietary, AI-guided, expert-verified system that models contracts, analyzes claims at scale, and supports resolution with certified revenue cycle professionals. The result is measurable recovery of revenue that was earned but never captured.

What Makes SRD Different

Recovery beyond denials

SRD analyzes paid and closed claims, identifying underpayments hidden in contract variance, zero-pay claims, and payer behavior patterns that traditional billing operations overlook.

No workflow disruption

We operate alongside internal or third-party billing teams. No system replacement. No interruption to daily operations.

Root-cause intelligence

Our analysis exposes payer-specific issues, recurring human error, and contract ambiguity to reduce future revenue leakage.

Performance-aligned

SRD is paid based on recovered revenue. Our success is directly tied to yours.

AI-guided, Expert-verified

Our proprietary system uses AI to model complex reimbursement contracts and analyze claims at scale, while certified revenue cycle and coding experts oversee validation, escalation, and final resolution to ensure clinical, contractual, and financial accuracy.

The Underpayment Problem

7-10+% Revenue Leakage

The average provider loses roughly one-tenth of net patient revenue to systemic underpayment embedded in payer behavior, contract ambiguity, and claim adjudication.

Underpayments persist because:

• Payer tactics and billing rules continue to evolve

• Internal prevention at scale is virtually impossible

• Traditional vendors ignore zero-pay claims, sub-threshold variances, and long-cycle reviews

The result is chronic margin pressure—despite operational improvements elsewhere.

Where Revenue Is Lost

Revenue erosion compounds quietly across the reimbursement lifecycle.

Small variances at each step accumulate into material loss before revenue ever reaches the balance sheet.

Payer Coverage

SRD’s platform includes every major medical provider payer-specific module, covering:

  • Medicare
