Sandiola's Remarkable Milestone in 2024

In just its second operational year, Sandiola proudly announced a significant achievement in securing over $4 million in reimbursement for its clients in 2024. This milestone not only reflects Sandiola's commitment to enhancing financial performance for independent community hospitals but also underscores the importance of accurate patient acuity capture in improving healthcare outcomes.

Working closely with Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) and coding teams, Sandiola has played a crucial role in reducing payer denials and downgrades, ensuring that hospitals receive fair compensation for the care delivered to patients. Vinnie Whibbs, the CEO of Sandiola, expressed pride in the collaboration with clients, emphasizing that accurate reimbursement is vital for the sustainability of community health providers. He stated, "Decreasing payer denials and downgrades, and capturing patient acuity correctly is essential to ensuring independent, community hospitals thrive so that they can continue to provide care to the communities they serve."

The success of Sandiola in recapturing reimbursements has also allowed the company to contribute to social causes. Their partnership with the San Diego Food Bank has resulted in the provision of 31,953 meals for individuals facing food insecurity in San Diego County. This initiative reflects Sandiola's belief that access to healthy food is a fundamental right for all citizens. The collaboration with the Food Bank demonstrates Sandiola's commitment to not just enhancing healthcare but also supporting broader community welfare.
