Sift Healthcare
Payments intelligence that catches denials and underpayments before claims leave the building
What is Sift Healthcare?
Sift Healthcare's RevProtect platform predicts and prevents reimbursement risk by stitching clinical and payment data across the full claims lifecycle. It models underpayments, DRG downgrades and clinical takeback probability at the time of documentation, then pushes role-specific actions back into existing revenue-cycle workflows.

Use cases to evaluate
Predict which inpatient cases are likely to be downgraded and intervene before submission
Embed denial-prevention recommendations into a coder or CDI specialist's worklist
Prioritize aged denials work queues by recovery probability instead of dollar amount
Quantify revenue leakage by payer, DRG and service line to target negotiation
Fit to evaluate
Revenue integrity leaders at hospitals with material denial exposure
CDI and UR teams looking to act on predictive signals during documentation
Health system CFOs who want payer-by-payer revenue leakage attribution
RCM vendors embedding payments intelligence into their own UI
Business fit
Right for you if your health system is losing money to denials, DRG downgrades and underpayments and you want predictive models embedded in coding, CDI and UR workflows rather than another bolt-on dashboard. Sift ships 329 proprietary MS-DRG playbooks, so domain depth is real. Skip if you need front-office RCM (scheduling, eligibility, patient billing) since Sift focuses on post-encounter reimbursement risk. Sold to enterprise health systems already running mature EHR/RCM stacks.
