Our Denial Management Process
-
Identify Denials
Our team identifies claim denials through reports, denial management software and payer remittance advice.
-
Categorize Denials
Next, we classify denials based on common reasons, such as missing documentation, coding errors, etc.
-
Review Denial Details
We analyze denial codes, denial reasons, and payer requirements provided in the remittance advice or denial notification.
-
Gather Additional Information
Our team gathers missing or required documentation, such as medical records, supporting documentation, or prior authorizations, to address denial reasons.
-
Appeal Preparation
We next prepare the necessary appeal documents, addressing the denial reason, supporting documentation, corrected claim information, and payer-specific forms.
-
Submit Appeal
Finally, we submit the appeal to the appropriate payer within the designated timeframe, adhering to the specific appeal submission guidelines and requirements.
-
Track and Follow-up
Our team monitors the status of the appeal and ensures timely follow-up with the payer, providing any requested information or documentation.
-
Escalate (If Needed)
If the appeal still gets denied or is not resolved satisfactorily, we escalate the case within the hospital, following established procedures.
-
Generate Reports
Our team also analyzes denial trends, identifies root causes, and generates reports to give you insights into process improvements for preventing denials.
