Your staff wants to do a good job. But there’s no commercial academy or course to send them to learn what they truly need to know to fight denied claims effectively. That’s probably because it all starts with what was negotiated in a contract.

Bring a custom academy to your facility or clinic today and let’s get the team trained and proud of their results.

DENIED CLAIMS APPEALS CONSULTING

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

Maria examines the denial codes, their occurrence frequency, and attempts to discover if the problem is external or internal. Her forensic analysis identifies the reason(s) for the denied claims you’ve experienced and she interprets the data to design and deploy a remediation strategy.
