Denial Management

MedLead is dedicated to minimize lost reimbursements and denials with highly efficient systems and services designed to meet our clients’ needs. One of the major problems faced by healthcare providers and Medical Billing Companies is that a large proportion of denied claims goes unattended and is never resubmitted. MedLead’s Denial Management in Medical Billing process uncovers and resolves the problem leading to denials and shorten the accounts receivables cycle. The denial management in medical billing team establishes a trend between individual payer codes and common denial reason codes. This trend tracking helps to reveal billing, registration and medical coding process weaknesses that are then corrected to reduce future denials, thus ensuring first submission acceptance of claims. Also, the payment patterns from various payers are analyzed for setting up a mechanism to alert when a deviation from the normal trend is seen.

For claims that are denied and need to be appealed, appeal letters are prepared and sent along with supporting documents including Medical Records for processing. If the insurance permits telephonic or fax appeals, the same is also handled through those channels
