Claim submission and scrubbing

A clean claim is cheaper than a worked denial every single time. The point of scrubbing is not to catch errors after a payer finds them — it is to stop the claim leaving with the error on it.

What gets checked before a claim leaves

Charges are entered from your documentation, then every claim runs through payer-specific edits, NCCI procedure-to-procedure pairs and unit limits, and local coverage determinations for the payer in question. Demographics, insurance IDs, referring NPI and place of service are validated against what the payer expects, because those are the fields that produce the boring, avoidable rejections.

Rejections versus denials

A clearinghouse rejection never reached the payer, so it is not a denial and it does not need an appeal — it needs correcting and resending, quickly, before the filing clock runs down. Rejections are worked the day they land rather than batched, which is what keeps them from ageing into timely-filing write-offs.

You keep your own system

Claims go out of your practice management system, not ours. There is no migration, no data export, and no period where you cannot see your own claims. You keep the audit trail and the submission log, and you can pull either without asking us for it.

Common questions

How fast do claims go out?
Inside one business day of receiving your documentation. Same-day for practices that get charges to us before mid-afternoon.
Do we have to change practice management systems?
No. We work inside the system you already use. If you are unhappy with your system that is a separate conversation, and not one you need to have to start.
What happens to a claim the clearinghouse rejects?
It is corrected and resubmitted rather than queued. A rejection never reached the payer, so the filing clock is still running and speed matters.
Do you handle paper claims?
Yes. Some payers and some secondary claims still require paper, and those get filed and tracked the same way electronic claims do.
