What is Denial Management?
Denial management is a crucial process in healthcare revenue cycle management that focuses on reducing the frequency of claim denials and ensuring timely reimbursement. Denied claims can create a significant financial burden, affecting a healthcare provider's bottom line. Our service focuses on identifying the root causes of denials, appealing denied claims, and implementing strategies to prevent future denials from occurring.
How Denial Management Works at MediVanced
1. Claims Identification and Tracking
We begin by identifying and categorizing denied claims. Our system tracks claims in real-time, flagging those that are denied or underpaid. By integrating this with your existing healthcare management systems, we provide a comprehensive view of the claims status and focus on the most critical issues.
2. Root Cause Analysis
We don’t just look at denied claims; we dive deep into understanding why they were denied. By analyzing trends, such as coding errors, eligibility issues, or payer-specific requirements, we can pinpoint areas where your practice needs improvement. Our team of experts works to find solutions that will minimize denials in the future, saving your practice both time and money.
3. Appeal Management
For denied claims that are eligible for reconsideration, our team handles the appeal process. We work to correct the errors and provide additional documentation to support your claim, ensuring it meets payer requirements. Our experts ensure that appeals are submitted within the required timeframes, maximizing your chances of reimbursement.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Communication
We provide continuous monitoring of your claims to ensure that there is no delay in resubmission or appeal. Through ongoing communication with insurance payers and providers, we help speed up the resolution of disputes and ensure that your practice receives the payments it is due.
