Medical Billing Denial Management
Denied medical claims have been reported as representing 90% of missed revenue opportunities in medical practices. In total, an estimated $262 billion in medical claims are initially denied each year. Out of all the claims denied, research shows up to 65% of them are never reworked. Over half! That is hundreds of thousands of dollars lost! And more shocking than that, 90% of them were avoidable.
On top of potentially losing the revenue from the service, it costs to rework a claim - $25 each. If you have 10 claims a week denied, that is $250 a week, $1,000 a month, $12,000 or more a year spent trying to get reimbursement for services rendered from payers. Not to mention the time spent by staff members dealing with the appeals.
The reality is denials are going to happen, but at Billed Right's Denial Management Services in Florida works hard to minimize the number of denials and to deal with the ones that do happen. Our team will appeal those denials, even to three levels.

- We may follow up, complete an appeal, and add all supporting documentation, submitted, in your software, for transparency, or we may ask you additional questions to help support our appeal process.
