Rejection Handling Services
Rejection of medical claims is one of the most common challenges healthcare providers face in the revenue cycle. Claim rejections can delay payments, disrupt cash flow, and create an unnecessary administrative burden. At Advantawise, we specialize in claim rejection handling, ensuring that rejected claims are promptly addressed, corrected, and resubmitted to ensure a seamless reimbursement process.
The Challenge :
Medical claims rejections can occur for a variety of reasons, each of which can hinder your practice's revenue cycle:
- Incorrect Information: Common errors include incorrect patient details, missing or inaccurate codes, or invalid insurance information.
- Missing Documentation: A claim may be rejected due to missing supporting documentation such as pre-authorizations, referrals, or signatures.
- Coding Errors: Mistakes in ICD, CPT, or HCPCS codes are frequent causes of claim rejections, affecting reimbursement and compliance.
- Payer-specific Requirements: Different payers have different criteria and requirements for processing claims. Not adhering to these can lead to rejections.
- Time Constraints: Rejected claims require quick attention to prevent payment delays. Without a dedicated team, your practice might struggle to resolve rejections promptly, leading to extended AR days.
