Pattern Intelligence is HERE! 🎉

Roughly 10% to 15% of billed claims are underpaid, and 65% of denials are never appealed. These numbers keep climbing as manual, claim-by-claim reviews hide systemic problems.

That is why we built Pattern Intelligence inside SlicedIQ.

Instead of treating every denial or underpayment as an isolated event, Pattern Intelligence groups related claims by underlying clinical, coding, and financial signals to surface high-impact, defensible recovery opportunities. Backed by a rigorous operational standard, it gives your revenue-cycle team the evidence they need to act with confidence.

A hospital CEO’s name is now a required data field in the machine-readable file.

Not the compliance officer’s or IT's. Since January 1, 2026, CMS has required the hospital’s CEO, president, or designated senior official to be named directly in the file as the person accountable for its accuracy. That kind of direct accountability is part of why 2026 enforcement carries more weight than in years past.

Patient Rights Advocate’s latest review found 49.4% of hospitals fully compliant with federal price transparency requirements, up from 21.1% a year ago. The progress is evident but it also means roughly half of hospitals reviewed are still falling short, even after four years of enforcement.

Posting a file was never the finish line. CMS audits for accuracy, completeness, formatting, and accessibility now, not just whether a document exists. One of the most common mistakes we see is hospitals encoding an EIN where CMS requires a Type 2 NPI. CMS has said plainly that an EIN does not satisfy this requirement, no matter how complete the rest of the file looks.

Our Price Transparency solution handles details like these so the right names, numbers, and formats are in place long before an auditor ever looks. If your team is heads down, trying to work through what changed this year, our full 2026 compliance checklist is a good place to start.

A Warning Notice typically gives hospitals 90 days to fix cited price transparency gaps. After that, initial fines start accruing by day and repeat or willful violations run even higher. Reviews can start a few different ways like anonymous complaints or automated scans of hospital websites.

Whichever one triggers it, CMS is checking for the same things:

✅ Is the machine-readable file posted and publicly accessible?
✅ Are the required data fields complete?
✅ Does the shoppable services list meet the 300-service minimum?
✅ Does the file format and attestation match current specs?

Something as small as an outdated locator file or a stale shoppable services list could make the difference between compliant and cited.

Organizations like Mississippi Rural Hospital Alliance exist to provide a rural hospital leaders a support system to help achieve collectively what they could not do alone. That's exactly why we are proud to be participating in RHA's Annual Retreat October 5-6.

If you'll be there, Zoe Barnes would love to learn more about what your organization is currently working through and share how SlicedHealth could help bridge the gaps.

Hospitals already have the data they need to catch what's slipping through the cracks. The systems just can't surface it fast enough to make a difference.

GROW closes that gap. Teams using the platform spend less time chasing contract details, catch underpayments sooner, and clear compliance issues before they turn into penalties.

See what that looks like inside your own workflow.

A new provider signs the offer letter. Packs up. Shows up ready to work.

Then nothing happens for three months.

Credentialing delays average 90 to 120 days per provider, and that gap costs hospitals $7,000 to $8,000 in lost revenue per provider while they wait to bill. For a hospital filling two or three open positions a year, that adds up fast, before a single claim is ever submitted.

It's rarely the provider causing the delay. It's the process underneath them: spreadsheets, email threads, and verification steps that depend on someone remembering to follow up.

Swipe through to see where the delays actually come from, and what a faster way to credential looks like. Read more here https://tinyurl.com/c63d4zwt
