Your dashboard shows $6.4M at risk across denials, underpayments, and aging AR. How much did you actually recover last quarter?
Every denied claim that doesn't get appealed. Every underpayment that goes unnoticed. Every follow-up that ages out. That's coming out of your margin.
ANKA doesn't add another person to your staff. ANKA becomes your entire revenue cycle. Denial appeals. Underpayment recovery. AR automation. Follow-ups. All of it. Outcome guaranteed in the contract.
You're running a hospital on margins that leave no room for leakage
What ANKA actually does at your hospital
Every Denial Worked
Your team can work 50–100 denials per month per FTE. ANKA works 500+. EOB reads. Clinical history pulled. Appeals written. Submitted. Tracked. No more abandoned claims.
Every Underpayment Caught
Payers pay below contracted rates. 99% of underpayments go undetected. ANKA audits every payment against every contract. Variance identified. Recovery executed. Contingency pricing — you pay only on what we recover.
Every Follow-Up Made
Your billing staff spend 25% of their day on hold. ANKA automates status checks. Tracks timely filing deadlines. Escalates to supervisors. Nothing ages out. Everything that should be worked gets worked.
Aged AR Recovery
Claims written off as uncollectible aren't always unwinnable. They're unworked. ANKA systematically works through aged AR. Recovers what your team didn't have capacity to pursue.

Questions about rural hospitals, funding, and RCM
Does ANKA work with CAHs and SCHs?
Yes. CAHs and SCHs often have the tightest margins, which means ANKA's outcome-based approach is most valuable. You're not paying for headcount. You're paying for results. Many of our best deployments are at CAHs where 1–2 billing staff manage everything.
Can I really fund ANKA through CMS?
Yes, if you qualify for rural health grants. Technology implementation is eligible. The CMS playbook walks you through qualifying programs and the application process. We've helped 8 hospitals secure funding. Average approval time: 60–90 days.
What's the minimum hospital size for ANKA?
No minimum. We work with 25-bed rural hospitals and 400-bed community systems. The math scales. Smaller hospitals see faster ROI because their margins are tighter and our execution is more impactful per bed.
How do we avoid building dependency on ANKA?
You won't be. ANKA doesn't replace your billing staff. It removes the impossible work (500 denials per month with 2 people). Your team focuses on exceptions, payer relationships, and strategy. When ANKA is gone, your process is stronger — not weaker.
