Denial Management
In healthcare, a claim is considered denied if the insurance company or payer determines that they will not pay for all or part of a medical service or procedure. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
Lack of medical necessity: The insurance company may determine that the service or procedure was not medically necessary.
Exclusion from coverage: The insurance policy may exclude coverage for certain types of services or procedures.
Coding or billing errors: The claim may be denied due to errors in coding or billing, such as incorrect procedure codes, diagnosis codes, or modifiers.
Lack of pre-authorization: The insurance company may require pre-authorization for certain services or procedures, and if this is not obtained before the service is provided, the claim may be denied.
Non-payment of premiums: If the patient's insurance policy is not up-to-date or premiums have not been paid, the claim may be denied.
When a claim is denied, the healthcare provider or facility will usually receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) or remittance advice (RA) from the insurance company detailing the reason for the denial. The provider may then have the option to appeal the decision, provide additional documentation or information, or adjust the billing and resubmit the claim.
