ED Downgrades

Eliminate revenue leakage from Emergency Department (ED) downgrades and start receiving full and rightful reimbursement.

How EnableComp conquers ED Downgrade complexity

Finding and correcting downgrade errors requires clinical insight, payer intelligence, and data-driven precision. EnableComp takes a rigorous approach to resolving ED downgrades as we:

  • Validate each claim against payer-specific ED billing standards and medical necessity policies.
  • Identify and recover revenue lost to incorrect acuity level assignments.
  • Strengthen documentation to reduce future downgrade risk and denials.
  • Provide actionable insights that improve processes, compliance, and financial performance over time.

EnableComp’s ED Downgrades solution, part of our Complex Denials Suite, delivers measurable impact on its own and results amplify when connected to the full suite.

Why choose EnableComp for ED Downgrade reviews

Most ED downgrade review processes stop at surface-level checks. EnableComp goes deeper, combining clinical expertise with intelligent automation to correct inaccurate downgrades.

Our team reviews each claim with a thoughtful, methodical approach, using clinical indicators, documentation, and the broader clinical picture to give your organization a clear and reliable foundation for reimbursement.

Complex Revenue Intelligence™: Your advantage for ED Downgrades

EnableComp applies Complex Revenue Intelligence™ (CRI) to every ED downgrade review, combining advanced analytics, payer intelligence, and clinical expertise to identify discrepancies between documented care and payer reimbursement.

One key to CRI is our proprietary AI-enhanced e360 RCM® platform, which continuously learns from the millions of claims it processes. This intelligence enables hospitals to recover lost revenue, prevent future downgrades, and ensure every claim accurately reflects the level of care provided.

Built for foresight, CRI transforms complexity into sustainable financial performance.
