FRANKLIN, Tenn., June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian Health, the healthcare industry leader for automating, integrating and transforming the patient payment and care experience, today announced the launch of several innovative new products and services that will enhance the breadth and depth of its revenue cycle offerings. These award-winning solutions will enable healthcare professionals to establish more efficient workflows, remain compliant in an ever-changing environment and redefine front-office operations.

"By committing ourselves to developing innovative solutions, we are able to help transform the industry, as well as empower healthcare providers to stay ahead of the game and improve their bottom line."

New Experian Health solutions include:

Denial Workflow Manager integrates the power of analytics, workflow tools and actionable-claim status detail to identify root causes of claim denials and efficiently manage them to improve overall revenue cycle performance, increasing cash flow and net revenue and reducing denial rates.

    --  Licensing compliance: provides analysis and ongoing monitoring of agency
        licensing requirements

        vendor

Patient Financial Clearance allows providers to confidently determine the appropriate financial pathway for every patient in real time. This new solution helps meet 501(r) regulatory requirements, reduce accounts receivable days and increase point-of-service collections by:
