Revenue leakage in the revenue cycle management process happens when hospitals lose money due to gaps, errors, or inefficiencies in billing and claims handling. Common causes include incorrect patient or insurance information, coding mistakes, delayed claim submissions, and poor denial follow-up. These issues can lead to underpayments, rejected claims, and unbilled services, slowly eroding cash flow and financial health unless tracked and corrected.
