This issue waste the physician\u2019s, admin, and patient\u2019s valuable time, but filing an invalid claim can become something of a money-pit as well. Regular causes of denied insurance claims include missing information, billing errors, and questions regarding patient coverage.<\/p>\n<p>In order to avoid billing denials, it\u2019s important to be aware where the biggest margin of error lies. Here we will discuss few reasons for denials.<\/p>\n<h2>Missing Information<\/h2>\n<p>Leaving even one required field blank can lead to the claim being denied. These type of denials account for 42% of denial write-offs. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Demographic and technical errors\u2014like a missing modifier<\/li>\n<li>Incorrect plan code<\/li>\n<li>Missing social security number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Duplicate claim<\/h2>\n<p>There are chances to file duplicate claims if you are not following correct process. Duplicate claims are like claims submitted for a single encounter on the same day by the same provider for the same patient for the same service item. Medicare B sees the majority of these claim denials.<\/p>\n<h2>Service are adjudicated<\/h2>\n<p>This kind of denial occurs when benefits for a certain service are included in the payment of another service or procedure that has already been adjudicated.<\/p>\n<h2>Procedure not covered by a payer<\/h2>\n<p>Does your billing team check eligibility of patient before date of service? If procedures aren\u2019t covered under a patient\u2019s current benefit plan, they will be denied. These are generally easy to avoid, as going over a patient\u2019s plan or calling their insurer before submitting a claim can head such denials off.<\/p>\n<h2>Exceeding the time limit<\/h2>\n<p>In a health insurance policy, you are required to apply for reimbursement within a certain period of time. As for emergency admission, the time given is 24 hours after the patient has been admitted, and in other cases, it can change according to the type of policy you have opted for and the treatment being availed by you. If you don\u2019t apply within the time specified, your claim can be rejected.<\/p>\n<p>It can be easily concluded that in order to avoid claim rejection\/denials, you should have good RCM process or outsourced billing team in place.
