For small clinics, managing denied insurance claims can be difficult and create a problem when it comes to staying profitable. That’s where Denial Management Specialists come in. They improve the claim accuracy and the processes, reducing revenue loss and allowing you to focus on what really matters, your patients.
What is denial management?
Denial management is the process of identifying and resolving insurance claims. These claims can be denied for several reasons. Denial management specialists will review the rejections and check why they were denied. Insurance companies can deny claims for several reasons, such as:
- Eligibility issues: This can mean that the patient does not have the service included in their plan or that they are not covered by.
- Coding errors: Missing codes for treatments or diagnosis.
- Documentation issues: Incomplete or inaccurate information to support the claim.
What is the role of a denial management specialist?
A Denial management specialist is a person who has an important role in healthcare organizations, they oversee insurance claims and ensure that providers are reimbursed for supplied services. They have several responsibilities; among those we can find:
- Review the cases: They are responsible for reviewing all insurance claims that have been denied and analyze why a claim was rejected. They look for the root cause of why they were denied.
- Identify trends and patterns: They identify common reasons for denials or recurring patterns. This can include eligibility issues, authorizations failures, coding errors, etc. With this, they improve the process and prevent future denials.
- Ensuring proper documentation: They must ensure that all the documentation related to a claim is accurate and complete. Incomplete or inaccurate information is one of the most common causes of denial, so they have to verify this before submitting the claim.
- Preventing Future Denials: Besides resolving the current claims, a Denial management specialist should work on preventing future claims from being denied, by reviewing the claims before submission, providing feedback to the coding and billing teams and collaborating with insurance companies to clarify the policies and make them consistent and clear.
How denial specialists craft successful appeals
Once you Denial Specialist know the reason why the claim has been denied they have to submit an appeal. This includes:
- Re-submit the corrected claim: If the claim was denied due to any coding or documentation error, it must be submitted with the correct information.
- Provide any additional information: Medical records, letters, medical necessities, etc; can be required.
- Follow up with the customer: They have to follow up with the customer to ensure that claims are correctly processed.
