On this episode of Champions of Care, a Champion Chair podcast and your leading source for industry-leading insights and thought leadership about medical seating and more, BSA LifeStructures’ Jen Worley and Karen Tobin joined host Daniel Litwin to outline how access to more informative and actionable data has elevated the way healthcare design promotes healing, learning and discovery.

BSA LifeStructures focuses on integrating data into the design process, helping designers craft progressive and sustainable structures that help designers achieve those core goals.

“Our mission has always been to partner with our clients and be a national leader in healing, learning and discovery, with the ultimate goal to improve lives,” Worley said. “We’re really excited about continuing that mission and being a part of this generation going forward.”

In today’s world, that means helping designers navigate the ever-growing world of technological innovation and the overwhelming amount of data those innovations produce to craft the right space for the right purpose.

To identify the relevant metrics per project, BSA LifeStructures looks to each market, in this case healthcare, to create a set of metrics that matter, or central metrics that can guide design. Then, for each project, more specific metrics can be selected in additional sessions.

In the realm of treatment spaces for oncology, biologics, and other infusion treatments, Worley and Tobin said there are some “givens” for these environments, such as infection control, ease of cleaning, and more. From there, specific environments and goals can help inform the specification of all of the medical seating.

Denials get a queue, underpayments just look like paid claims

Denials get a queue, underpayments just look like paid claims

Underpayments in healthcare revenue cycle operations lack the visibility of denied claims because they don't trigger alerts or queue workflows. Without dedicated ownership and line-level verification against contract terms, paid claims that fall short of their contractual amount pass through undetected.

  • 01Denial workflows activate on rejection events, but underpayments produce no event, leaving paid claims unverified by default.
  • 02The speaker says many provider groups lack line-level contract intelligence to check each paid line against the applicable terms.
  • 03Payment received and payment checked are separate tasks: one verifies acceptance, the other verifies correctness—and the second often has no assigned owner.

A zero-paid claim line is not automatically an underpayment

A zero-paid claim line is not automatically an underpayment

A zero payment on a claim line isn't automatically an underpayment; contract terms, particularly packaging rules, determine whether zero is correct. Chasing unsupported findings damages credibility with payers and weakens the position of legitimate disputes, so revenue cycle teams must verify the full contract terms and effective dates before treating any payment difference as a finding.

  • 01When a contract packages add-ons into the primary procedure, the add-on line may legitimately show zero payment because it is folded into the primary procedure reimbursement.
  • 02Pursuing payment differences that lack contract support burns credibility with payers and can weaken the team’s position on later disputes, including valid ones.
  • 03Always verify the complete contract terms, fee schedules, carve-outs, amendments, and the specific version in effect on the date of service before treating a payment variance as a recoverable underpayment.

A clean, paid, closed claim can still be short of the contract

A clean, paid, closed claim can still be short of the contract

Practices can receive payment on closed, clean claims that still fall short of negotiated contract amounts because billing ends at coding, submission and posting, while no role owns checking whether payer payments match fee schedules. The speaker argues that contract-level payment review is a separate, complementary function that compares closed claims to contract terms and, run continuously, helps surface shortfalls in time to act within timely filing windows.

  • 01Correctly coded and billed healthcare claims can still result in underpayment.
  • 02Check closed-claim payments against contract terms to find underpayments.
  • 03Discrepancies in claim payments can persist despite adherence to billing protocols.
