- Follow up on submissions and track payer outcomes through reconciliation.

- Approve material clinical arguments, write-offs, and actions outside delegated authority.
- Provide payer access and identify the customer escalation and billing release contacts.
How the work moves through the queue
Step 1
Triage and investigation
Identify the actual issue and the action supported by claim and payer evidence.
Step 2
Correction or appeal
Prepare the appropriate action, obtain required approval, and record submission evidence.
Step 3
Follow-up and reconciliation
Track the response, reconcile recovered payments, and feed root causes back to prevention.
Staffing and review responsibilities
Denial operations staff investigate administrative issues. Clinical arguments require clinician input; coding questions and proposed billing changes follow the customer's required review and approval process.
Turnaround, exceptions, and escalation
Contractual adjustments and patient responsibility are distinguished from actual denials. Expired deadlines, missing records, disputed coverage, and unresolved clinical evidence are escalated rather than automatically appealed.
During assessment, agree operating hours, readiness criteria, response expectations, escalation contacts, and reporting cadence in the service agreement.
Reporting your team receives
- Queue volume, age, and next action
- Deadlines and missing evidence
- Actions submitted and payer responses
- Recovered payments and unresolved root causes
Onboarding and access
Agree the backlog boundary, payer mix, evidence sources, delegation, deadlines, and reconciliation method. Review a sample of denied and adjusted claims before setting the production work queue.
Pricing and scope
Request a quote based on backlog size, ongoing volume, payer mix, documentation complexity, appeal levels, follow-up, and recovery reporting. Existing AR work and new denial work should be scoped separately.
Evaluate the delivery process
Request a walkthrough of a representative work queue, its review steps, the customer handoff, and a sample report. Ask which systems and payer channels apply to your organization, who reviews exceptions, and how outcomes will be reconciled.
Your assessment establishes the service scope and evidence needed for your practice. Performance targets and commitments belong in the agreed service plan.
