What Providers can do to Prevent Claims from
being Denied or Rejected?
Every healthcare provider has a complicated
relationship with payers. Healthcare providers
are busy in providing treatment to patients and
they spend much time with patients and many of
the time payers deny payments for the services
provided. Providers can prevent claims denials
and can ease the denial management that does not
come so easy to any practice.   Claims Denials
and Claims Rejections Claim denials and claims
rejections are normally used interchangeably?
Medical billing companies check for the mistakes
in claims before submitting them to payers.
Still, they receive denials, these can be a big
loss for the healthcare provider and billing
company. Claims denials and claims rejections
are generally misinterpreted in the medical
billing industry. These are costly mistakes and
can negatively impact the entire Revenue Cycle

Study Old Claims If the correct information is
not captured in practice management software then
it can be cause for claims rejections.
Streamlined revenue cycle management will reduce
the rejection cases in the future and improve
revenue. Providers also need to analyze payer
rejection trends and denials are also important.
This process helps to identify denials and
rejections which makes it easy to understand
where the problem lies and fix them if they are
common. Automated Solutions Generally, humans
can make errors but the system will not. If
practice reduces human errors then less denial
will be there. Any practice management will help
to identify rejections and can increase accuracy
with the increase in reimbursement. Patient
Information Almost in each practice, the common
cause for denial like wrong information, errors
in pre-authorization reports are easy to fix.
Providers can reach out to insurance companies to
verify patient information right before the date
of service.

solution in the claims filing process. Sustain a
genuine relationship with the clearinghouse and
build a strong contact that will streamline the
processes and benefit both groups. Timely Claim
Submission According to payer policies, every
provider should file their claims on time to
adhere to the timelines decided by payers.
Medical billing companies should submit claims
before their timely filing limits reach. Due to
this, all claims will get filed in time and also

claims, studying and understanding the claim
format will ensure it is easy to fix the problems
