Integrations and data readiness
Contract review depends on supplied agreements and schedules, claim history, payment records, and remittance data. During assessment, confirm which EHR, practice management, clearinghouse, and remittance connections apply to your organization, including any file-based intake needed during onboarding.
Payment posting supplies the payment context. AR follow-up and denial management handle the next action when a case belongs in those queues.
Human review and authorization
A flagged difference is a candidate for investigation. Revenue integrity staff confirm the contract window, schedule, payment context, and adjustments. Finance and legal owners validate disputed interpretations and authorize negotiation positions or disputes. Automated preparation supports these decisions.
Implementation
Begin with the payer and provider-entity roster, executed agreements, amendments, schedules, and representative paid claims. Validate mappings and review controls in a sample before expanding the investigation queue. Agree data-gap handling, recovery reconciliation, report cadence, and escalation ownership.
Pricing and quotation
Request a quote based on contract and payer count, schedule complexity, payment volume, integrations, historical review period, and required reporting. Define the boundary between software access, implementation, and managed contracting work in your proposal.
