Don’t Look for the ROI of a Fire Hydrant When the House Is on Fire
A note for Hospital CFOs facing denials, rising write-offs, and razor-thin margins
Hospitals aren’t just healing patients—they’re firefighting revenue crises every day.
Denials.
Delays.
Documentation gaps.
Appeals lost in inboxes.
Reimbursements disappearing silently.
And yet, decision-making stalls. Committees meet. Pilots are proposed. And while ROI calculations are being modeled…
🔥 The house is still on fire.
The Real Cost of Delay
As a CFO, you already know the numbers:
• 1 in 10 claims face denials.
• Denials cost hospitals millions annually.
• Reversed denials = direct revenue recovery.
But ask yourself:
Do you calculate the ROI of a fire hydrant during a fire?
Or do you use it—because it’s the only tool that matters in that moment?
You Don’t Need a Pilot, You Need a Plan
Enter Aerolib.ai — the physician-built, denial defense platform that doesn’t just write appeal letters, it builds a system:
• AI-powered appeal generation in minutes, not days
• Real-time visibility into denial patterns and bottlenecks
• Integration with your clinical and case management teams
• Built to scale with minimal lift from your IT
Firefighters Don’t Wait for Board Approval
Your revenue team doesn’t need more dashboards. They need outcomes.
Waiting for perfection is no longer a strategy.
Speed is the new savings.
So the next time someone asks, “What’s the ROI of automation for appeals?”
Ask back, “What’s the ROI of saving a burning house?”
Because in today’s healthcare economics, inaction is the costliest decision.
