February 27, 2026
Clinical audits are becoming more complex, demanding, and time‑consuming. Sepsis is a prime example, but the challenges extend across today’s most intricate clinical reviews. This on‑demand webinar, Tackling today’s most complex clinical audits, features a rebroadcast of our popular session Navigating increasingly complex clinical audits, followed by a recorded expert discussion that expands on the topic with a real‑world use case.
In this session, our team walks through how health plans are leveraging UM clinical insights in the PI selection process to improve accuracy and reduce time to pay by 1–2 weeks compared with traditional prepay approaches. You’ll hear real perspectives on what’s driving complexity today—and how both providers and payers are responding.
