Preventable denials remain one of the biggest, and most avoidable, drains on cash flow in home-based care.

As payer complexity increases, more organizations are shifting denial prevention upstream, using pre-submission guardrails to catch issues before claims ever reach a payer.

In our latest blog, we explore:

✅ The most common preventable denial drivers
✅ Why manual checks no longer scale
✅ How AI-driven pre-submission review improves clean-claim performance

Read how providers are improving CCR by up to 10% and reducing denials by as much as 56%.

As the year begins, many home-based care leaders are focused on one question: how to operate with greater financial clarity and confidence in a changing environment.

We’re looking forward to the conversations ahead in 2026.

We sat down with Marc Stranz, Pharm.D. on Beyond the Drip for a look at home infusion’s earliest days through the eyes of someone who lived it.

He walked us through the early days—parenteral nutrition, glass bottles, buretrols, handwritten processes—and how teams figured things out long before there was a playbook.

It’s a reminder of how far the industry has come, the people who shaped the path, and the future we’re continuing to build.

CMS has finalized the 2026 competitive bidding rule and clarified that the next round will focus on RID product categories, but more updates are already emerging. Our newly updated blog breaks down what’s confirmed, what’s changing and what HME providers should be preparing for now.

If you’re trying to track shifting timelines, requirements and operational impacts, this post consolidates the latest developments in one place, and we’ll keep it updated as CMS releases new guidance.

Competitive bidding is CMS’s process for setting Medicare reimbursement rates for DME by having suppliers submit bids.

Intake is one of the most overlooked, and most costly, parts of the HME revenue cycle. Manual referrals, re-keyed demographics, missing information and manual insurance checks create delays, errors, denials and constant rework. When intake isn’t clean and fast, everything downstream slows with it.

That’s why strengthening intake is the key to stronger RCM performance.

IntakeIQ, part of Prochant PulseIQ™, automates referral intake, validates data in real time and ensures clean information reaches billing the first time.

Improve HME billing with automated intake, fewer denials and cleaner data to strengthen your revenue cycle.

CMS just clarified that the next Competitive Bidding round will only include RID product categories - a win for many HME providers but potentially a temporary one.

Experts warn CMS can reintroduce legacy categories quickly, making operational readiness more important than ever.

At Prochant, our experts help HME providers stay ahead of regulatory shifts with stronger intake, cleaner claims and RCM workflows built to handle whatever CMS does next.

WASHINGTON – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has confirmed that the product categories for the next round of the competitive bidding program (CBP) will be limited to those included
