Pre and Post Pay Claims Review & Preparation
It is common practice for providers to receive communications from Governmental review agencies and Managed Care Plans requesting proof of the provision of skilled services in the form of an Additional Documentation Request (ADR), Help Letters, etc.
Pre-payment and post-payment insurance claims reviews are not classified as a denial of payment until the record is reviewed and denied. Prompt attention to managing these inquiries is essential for cash flow and prevention of higher volume record requests.
