How to Create an Effective Denial Management
Strategy
Medical claims are an important aspect of your practice’s revenue. When claims
are refused, it can be a significant source of financial loss. Denied claims not
only increase days of the revenue cycle, disrupting cash flow, but they can also
cost you money if not resolved quickly. The cost of processing each refused
claim further adds to the strain. Are you experiencing high denials, and looking
for a sound strategy to manage these denials? It is important you understand
why your claims are being denied, based on which you can devise a strategy to
reduce further denials and keep your practice from losing revenue.
3. Types of Denials
inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441
Soft Denials – A soft denial is only meant to be temporary. If the claim is
amended and/or further information is added, it may be paid.
Hard Denials – It is irreversible. It is revenue that has been lost since it
cannot be rectified or restored.
4. Reasons Why Claims Get Denied

Identifying the cause for the denial is the very first step in an effective denial
management strategy. When evaluated claims are sent unpaid, the insurer will
usually explain why on the accompanying payment explanation. It’s vital to
remember that the majority of people are unaware of the insurance denial
process. It is your front office staff’s responsibility to emphasise the need of
precise documentation and insurance information.

5. The following pointers form the basis for an
effective denial management strategy
inquiry@infohubservices.com https://infohubservices.com/ Call us +91 829-746-441
1. Identify – Find and fix the problems that lead to claims being denied by
insurers.
2. Manage – Categorize denials according to their reason, source, cause, and
other distinctive characteristics.
3. Monitor – Keep track of denials, audit employees’ efforts, and give the
tools, technology, and resources needed to get the job done.
4. Prevent – Work with patients, recommending physicians, and others to
appeal and overturn unjustified denials.
6. Re-submit Claims in the Stipulated Period

Follow your rejection management guide, evaluate the insurer’s associated denial
communication, and double-check your internal documents. If necessary, contact the
patient. Remember that most insurers have time constraints on resubmitting claims;
the last thing you want is to be denied reimbursement because of a late submission.
7. Examine the Denials
The easiest method to deal with claim denial is to prevent it from occurring in
the first place. According to industry sources, the typical denial rate for
practices is between 7 and 10%, whereas there should be no more than 4%
and no more than 2%. Preventive denial assessment is a root cause analysis of
all denials received with the goal of lowering the denial rate in the future.
Here are a few things you may to want to analyze –
What was the source of the denial? Was it a billing error, a coding issue,
patient eligibility, the wrong payer was invoiced, or anything else?
Is it possible that this denial might have been avoided? The solution to this
question will astound you.
What could have been done to prevent the denial? Review your eligibility
verification procedure to see if it needs to be fine-tuned if it was an
eligibility issue.
Perform an 80:20 analysis of your denials to determine which issues are the
most bothersome and how they might be rectified.
Don’t try to change all of your processes at once; taking it one step at a
time will yield better outcomes.
8. Organize the Process
The denial management procedure should begin as soon as a denial is
discovered. This entails the steps below.
1. Directly route denials to the affected individual’s work list. A coding error,
for example, must be reported immediately to the coder.
2. Sort the assignments on the denial work list by cause, time, and cash
amount
3. Remember to act quickly to avoid automatic re-billing and to strengthen
your case.
4. Create a denial management manual for your workers and create a uniform
methodology for each major type of denial.
