Claim Scrubbing

Every claim runs through payer-specific edits and a human review pass before submission, targeting a first-pass acceptance rate above 95%.

What this actually involves

A denied claim costs roughly $25 to $118 to rework — and a third of reworked claims are never resubmitted at all. Scrubbing is the cheapest point in the cycle to fix an error. We run automated edits for eligibility, NCCI conflicts, modifier logic and demographic mismatches, then add a human review pass for the categories automation reliably misses.

How we run it

  1. 1

    Automated edits

    Each claim passes a rules engine covering eligibility, bundling and formatting.

  2. 2

    Human review

    Flagged and high-dollar claims get a manual read before release.

  3. 3

    Correction

    Failures are corrected at source, not patched at the claim level.

  4. 4

    Pattern analysis

    Repeat failure reasons are traced back to coding, entry or front-desk workflow.
