Root-Cause Remediation
Top Claim Rejections We Routinely Overturn
Commercial and government payers use algorithmic adjudication to reject valid claims. We dismantle their automated denials with clinical evidence.
Lack of Information / Inconsistent Procedure Coding
Payer Stance: Payer claims required medical records, operative reports, or supporting modifiers are missing.
Smart Protocol: Immediate chart audit, clinical operative note compilation, and electronic re-submission within 48h.
Non-Covered Medical Necessity Services
Payer Stance: Payer challenges necessity of diagnostic tests, injections, or high-level E/M visits.
Smart Protocol: Senior coding review to draft peer-referenced medical necessity appeal letter signed by clinical director.
Timely Filing Limits & Eligibility Terminated
Payer Stance: Lax in-house follow-up causes claims to breach the payer's 90 or 180-day submission window.
Smart Protocol: Automated clearinghouse submission audit trails proving electronic transmission prior to deadline.
Our 4-Stage Denial Recovery Protocol
How we systematically turn rejections into cash in your bank account.
Stage 1: Daily Remittance Triage (<24h)
Every ERA 835 rejection is auto-ingested and categorized into clinical, demographic, or contracting buckets.
Stage 2: Root-Cause Investigation & Correction (<48h)
Our senior billers pull the patient chart, rectify authorization mismatches, and append proper clinical documentation.
Stage 3: Formal Clinical Appeal Packet Submission (<72h)
A formal reconsideration packet with payer-specific appeal forms and supporting clinical notes is transmitted.
Stage 4: Escalation & Insurance Commissioner Advocacy
For chronic bad-faith payer downcoding or unwarranted denials, we initiate formal Level II external reviews.
