Pediatric practices face unique revenue cycle challenges: high visit volumes, preventive care coding, and payer scrutiny on medical necessity. In Q2 2025, nine pediatric practices representing over 466,000 encounters partnered with White Plume to optimize their mid-revenue cycle. The results show how AI-driven automation and analytics can unlock new efficiency and revenue for pediatric groups.
6x Productivity Increase for Coders
Coders in pediatric practices using White Plume achieved productivity levels six times higher than the national average (measured by encounters per hour). With greater throughput, pediatric groups can keep up with demand while minimizing staffing strain.
61% of Coder Changes Automated by Lightning Rules
Pediatric encounters often involve coding nuances across vaccines, well-child visits, and developmental screenings. White Plume’s Lightning Rules automated 61% of coder changes in Q2, freeing coders from repetitive edits and giving them more time to focus on high-value, complex cases.
2.5% Improvement in Denial Rates
Preventable denials don’t just cost revenue — they delay care and erode trust. Pediatric practices using White Plume reduced preventable denials by 2.5%, creating steadier cash flow and reducing administrative burden on billing teams.
$7.96 Additional Revenue per Encounter
By reinvesting time saved from automation into revenue integrity checks, pediatric coders uncovered an additional $7.96 per encounter. Multiplied across more than 466,000 encounters, that represents millions in incremental revenue that can be reinvested into patient services, staffing, or practice growth.
Why It Matters for Pediatric Groups
Pediatrics is a specialty where margins are thin and volumes are high. Missed revenue opportunities add up quickly. By combining AI-driven automation with expert coders, White Plume helps pediatric practices:
- Boost productivity to manage high patient volumes.
- Reduce preventable denials for more predictable revenue cycles.
- Capture hidden revenue that sustains long-term financial health.
The Takeaway
Q2 2025 results prove that pediatric practices using White Plume aren’t just keeping pace — they’re getting ahead. By combining automation, analytics, and expert oversight, White Plume empowers pediatric coders to work more efficiently, reduce denials, and capture the full value of every encounter.
