Iodine Software Launches Next-Generation Pre-Bill Solution to Help Health Systems Right-Size Reimbursement
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Iodine Software, the leader in healthcare AI for revenue cycle optimization, today launched the next generation of its pre-bill solution, AwarePre-Bill, designed to help health systems close critical revenue gaps before claims are submitted. Built on years of proven success, the solution enables health systems to conduct financially targeted retrospective reviews, improving code accuracy and documentation to help right-size reimbursement. With Iodine, clients have captured $3–4 million per month in previously missed revenue. The launch comes at a time when health systems are under immense financial pressure. Claims denials have risen 16% over the past six years, and nearly 40% of hospitals operate at a deficit. Although more than 80% of appealed denials are ultimately overturned, limited resources prevent many systems from pursuing them—leaving millions in revenue on the table. Increasingly, hospitals are turning to AI-driven solutions like Iodine's to address these gaps and ensure financial sustainability in an increasingly complex payer environment. 'Iodine's pre-bill technology has delivered measurable ROI for AdventHealth,' said Dr. Christopher Riccard, VP of Hospital Medicine and CDI at AdventHealth. 'We've seen a meaningful lift in high-impact queries that drive both revenue and quality outcomes. The ability to prioritize the right cases—not just more—has transformed our teams' productivity and strengthened our financial performance.' The solution leverages proven AI to pinpoint patient records with the greatest financial impact, exclude low-value cases, and validate DRG and ICD-10 codes by identifying missing documentation, recommending more appropriate codes, and surfacing alternative principal diagnoses. It also identifies post-discharge query opportunities, flags diagnoses lacking sufficient physician support, and detects financially significant quality events—such as HACs and PSIs—that may warrant documentation or coding updates. Each recommendation is backed by relevant clinical context, enabling reviewers to act with speed, accuracy, and confidence. Recognizing the persistent staffing challenges facing health systems, Iodine will also offer tech-enabled services to help close pre-bill revenue gaps. 'Hospitals are navigating rising denial rates and shrinking margins,' said William Chan, CEO of Iodine Software. 'We remain focused on our mission to be a true partner in helping health systems get reimbursed accurately for the care they provide. With enhanced pre-bill capabilities and flexible, outcomes-based pricing and service models, we are making it easier for healthcare leaders to adopt the tools they need to safeguard financial performance and support long-term stability.' Today, hundreds of health systems rely on Iodine to improve cycle revenue performance—reducing review times by 63% and generating millions in incremental impact annually. As Chan notes, 'In an environment where every dollar counts, we're delivering the tools hospitals need to protect their margins—and their mission.'

Madame Pho: Vietnamese chain shutting up shop at NI site
Vietnamese street food chain Madame Pho has announced that it will be closing its Dundonald restaurant today (Saturday, May 10). Revealing the news on their social media channels yesterday, the owners stated: 'It's with a heavy heart that we have to announce the closure of our store here in Dundonald. 'Thank you for the memories but don't fret because we are not fully going away! Our staff will be staying on with the new owners Waka Asian Fusion! 'Our last day operating as Madame Pho will be Saturday 10 May (closing at 9pm) - come down and get your pho fix before then!' Madame Pho, which was established in 2020, officially opened its eatery in Dundonald just last August. The unit at Eastpoint Entertainment Village in the Co Down town was the company's fourth opening in around six weeks at the time. The chain started out with a branch on Belfast's Botanic Avenue. There are multiple Madame Pho locations in Northern Ireland now, all in or near Belfast. They operate at St Anne's Square, Botanic Avenue, Lisburn Road, the Ormeau Road, Longstone Street in Lisburn and the Antrim Road in Glengormley. They also opened a location in Dublin in October 2024. Madame Pho serve a wide variety of Vietnamese food, including the famous noodle soup dish it is named for. Guests can also try Banh Mi baguettes and Ca Ri curry. In 2020, the Belfast Telegraph's Joris Minne described their Pho as 'wholesome… you can feel the health benefits as it flows down your throat, and the additional lime, chopped chillies and coriander on the side allows you to spice it up, and it does need a bit of a gee-up'. Madame Pho founder William Chan sold the business to new owners in 2023. He opened specialist Vietnamese coffee shop Phin on the Ormeau Road in April of last year. He told the Belfast Telegraph he had a 'passion' for hospitality after growing up in the trade, with his family owning Furama, a Chinese restaurant in Antrim for over 30 years.

Charleston restaurant owners jailed for COVID fraud scheme
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Three brothers have been sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a $2.8 million COVID fraud scheme, these brothers operate a string of restaurants in the Charleston area. William Chan, 40, and Siu Chan, 32, both of Georgia, have pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy. The third brother, Ka Ho Chan, 33, who also resides in Georgia, pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud. Officials say evidence obtained in the investigation revealed that beginning in March 2020, the C Chan brothers applied Paycheck Protect Program (PPP) and Emergency Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) funds using false representations and fraudulent documentation. Evidence for William and Siu Chan revealed that at least 22 PPP and EIDL loans were applied for and received totaling more than $2.5 million. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, a handful of the loans applied for by William and Siu were legitimate applications but the funds were not used for legitimate business purposes once funded. Ka Ha Chan entered a plea regarding a separate charge of wire fraud connected to an EIDL loan and grant he received. In his plea agreement, he agreed to a restitution amount between $300,000 and $350,000, which is based on the fraudulent loan proceeds obtained through applications submitted by his brothers during their conspiracy. Officials say the evidence revealed that all the funds received by Ka Ho, through his own wire fraud scheme, and the funds he received from his brothers were not used for legitimate business purposes and were used for personal expenses. William Chan was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision. Siu Chan was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision. Ka Ho Chan was sentenced to 12 months and one day imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision. There is no parole in the federal system. Officials report the total amount of fraudulent loans and misuse of EIDL and PPP loan funds during sentencing exceeded $2.8 million. The outstanding restitution owed in the amount of $1,268,386.50 was ordered to be payed by the brothers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
