Stop Denials Where They Start. Protect Revenue at Intake.

The Intake Shield™ diagnoses your front-end revenue cycle workflows—registration, scheduling, verifications, and authorizations—to pinpoint preventable denials and deliver a fix-it-now plan that strengthens intake and protects every downstream claim.

⚠ The Reality for Most Clinics

Denials don’t start in billing—they start at intake.

  • Staff overwhelmed with rushed registrations or skipped verifications
  • Authorizations fall through the cracks, triggering instant rejections
  • Eligibility errors snowball into rework, burnout, and payment delays
  • Intake SOPs are inconsistent or outdated across locations
  • The same front-end errors repeat month after month

Without airtight intake workflows, revenue is lost before a claim is even created.

✅ When to Choose Intake Shield™

This review is right for you if:

  • You want actionable fixes without hiring more staff
  • You want cleaner claims and fewer preventable denials
  • You suspect eligibility and auth errors are draining cash
  • Your team’s intake SOPs are missing or unclear

⚠ The Cost of Not Acting

  • Noncompliance risk in audits due to poor documentation
  • Denials that never should’ve happened
  • Hours wasted on rework and resubmissions
  • Delayed or rejected payments from bad intake data
  • Burned-out teams and frustrated patients

🛂 Meet The Intake Shield™

The Intake Shield™ is a targeted diagnostic of your front-end revenue cycle.
We evaluate how your staff handles scheduling, registration, eligibility, and authorizations, then map those workflows against your denial trends to expose risks and missed revenue.
