Working the Revenue Cycle: Claim Denials & Appeals

Once any payment is DENIED, it brings us to the part of medical billing that is the focus of this entire tutorial: Claim Denial Management. and each step thus far has served to reduce or eliminate denied claims.

Let's face it. The main way a claim gets denied is by not checking eligibility before hand.

But some payers, such as commercial payers will deny a claim out right simply in order to manage their cash-flow. Or sometimes they will pay for one procedure and reject another.

Most payers require surgery notes for surgeries and treatment notes for work-comp issues, and even though a claim is rejected, it can be appealed.

Appealing a claim denial must take place in a timely manner -within weeks, so managing claim denials is something you have to stay on top of.
