Types of Denials We Handle
Every denial type requires a different strategy. Our specialists are trained to handle all categories with the right approach for maximum recovery.
Hard denials are final decisions where the payer will not reimburse the claim under any circumstances without a formal appeal or clinical review. These require immediate action and strong documentation to overturn.
Requires Formal Appeal- Immediate root cause analysis to identify exact denial reason
- Gather all supporting clinical documentation and medical records
- Craft a detailed, evidence-based appeal letter
- Submit formal reconsideration within payer deadlines
- Escalate to peer-to-peer review when clinically appropriate
- Track appeal status and follow up until final resolution
Soft denials are temporary — the payer will pay if specific conditions are met, such as correcting a code, adding missing information, or providing additional documentation. These are resolved quickly with the right action.
Correctable & Resubmittable- Identify missing information or correctable errors immediately
- Correct coding, modifiers, or demographic data as needed
- Obtain and attach any missing supporting documentation
- Resubmit corrected claim within 24-48 hours
- Confirm receipt and track resubmitted claim to payment
- Log pattern data to prevent same denial from recurring
Clinical denials occur when a payer determines that a service was not medically necessary, experimental, or not covered under the patient's plan. These require clinical justification and often a physician-led appeal.
Medical Necessity Review- Conduct detailed clinical documentation review
- Work with physicians to strengthen medical necessity narrative
- Reference applicable payer LCDs and NCDs
- Coordinate peer-to-peer review with treating physician
- Submit clinical appeal with full supporting evidence
- Escalate to external independent review if needed
Technical denials result from administrative errors — wrong patient information, missing fields, incorrect billing codes, or claims submitted to the wrong payer. These are fully preventable with proper claim scrubbing.
Administrative Fix Required- Identify the specific technical error from the EOB/ERA
- Correct patient demographics, NPI, or billing information
- Fix incorrect CPT, ICD-10, or revenue codes
- Re-route claim to the correct payer if misdirected
- Resubmit corrected claim through proper channel
- Update internal processes to prevent future occurrence
Our Denial Management Process
A proven, systematic approach that catches denials early, resolves them fast, and prevents them from happening again.
The moment a claim is denied or rejected — whether by EDI clearinghouse or insurance carrier — our system flags it immediately. Every denial is logged, categorized, and assigned to a specialist within hours, not days.
We don't just fix the denial — we investigate why it happened. Our team analyzes the EOB/ERA, reviews the original claim, and identifies whether the cause is a coding error, documentation gap, eligibility issue, or payer policy change.
Based on the denial type, we correct the claim — updating codes, adding modifiers, fixing demographics — and gather all supporting documentation including medical records, referrals, and prior authorization approvals.
For hard denials, we prepare and submit formal appeal letters with supporting clinical evidence. For soft denials, corrected claims are resubmitted within 24 hours. All submissions are tracked and followed up until a final decision is received.
After resolution, we analyze denial patterns across your practice to identify systemic issues. Monthly denial reports highlight trends, top denial reasons, and actionable improvements — reducing future denials proactively.
Why Denial Management Matters
Every unresolved denial is lost revenue. With the average denial rate in healthcare at 5–10%, a proactive denial management strategy is essential to your practice's financial health.
We chase down every denied dollar. Our proactive appeals process recovers revenue that would otherwise be written off, directly increasing your bottom line.
Resolving denials within 24 hours means your AR moves faster, reducing days outstanding and keeping your cash flow stable and predictable.
Our pattern analysis identifies the root causes driving your denials — letting us fix systemic issues before they repeat and driving your denial rate down to 1.5–2%.
Proper denial tracking and appeal documentation protect your practice from audit risk and demonstrate compliance with payer and regulatory requirements.
Detailed denial reports give you complete visibility into what's being denied, why, and what recovery actions are underway — so nothing is a surprise.
