    DUVASAWKO IS THE EXPERT IN DENIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS

    Data from the AAFP suggests that between 5 and 10 percent of medical claims are denied. In another report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) the rates are even less optimistic, stating a full 25 percent of claims are denied. Denial rates from individual providers vary as well, showcasing the lack of standardization within the healthcare industry and highlighting the challenges EM groups and facilities have with denial management services on a daily basis.

    Effective Denial Management

    Denial management is the practice of evaluating why medical claims are being denied, determining best practices for reducing the number of denials, and employing strategies that increase  the percentage of claims paid promptly the first time.

    Effective denial management includes  the following:

    • Identifying the reason(s) claims are denied
    • In-depth Reporting & Analytics that provide full visibility into your practice’s performance
    • Decreasing the overall number of denials and maximizing the number of claims paid promptly

    If you run an Emergency Medicine group or facility, you have probably experienced one or more of these common reasons for insurance denials:

    • Incorrect coding by the provider
    • Healthcare services provided outside the beneficiary’s network
    • A general lack of documentation to support claims
    • Incorrect patient information such as misspellings or inaccurate information given by patient
    • Non-coverage of certain services/lack of prior authorization from insurer before conducting treatment

    Of course, no EM practice has the time to address these denials . These denials negatively affect cash flow and providers’ ability to dedicate time to patients.

    DuvaSawko is there to help.
