How We Measure Success
Common Questions About Reducing Denials
How quickly will I see results?
Phase 1 (Rapid Recovery) delivers immediate results—typically $15,000-$50,000 recovered within the first 30 days from existing denied claims. Denial rate reduction shows measurable improvement within 60-90 days as prevention strategies take effect.
What is a "normal" denial rate?
Industry average is 10-15% initial denial rate. However, best-in-class practices with professional denial management maintain 3-5% denial rates. Our goal is to get you to industry-leading performance levels.
How do you recover denied claims?
We use a systematic approach: identify root cause, gather supporting documentation, prepare compelling appeals with proper medical justification, submit within deadlines, and follow up persistently. Our specialized team knows payer-specific requirements and appeal processes.
Can you prevent all denials?
Not all denials are preventable—some are due to legitimate coverage issues. However, 80-85% of denials are caused by administrative errors and are preventable. Our focus is eliminating these avoidable denials while maximizing recovery on legitimate denials.
What if my denial rate is already low?
Even if your denial rate is 5-7%, there's still opportunity. We focus on: (1) recovering the denials you do have, (2) improving appeal success rates, (3) reducing time to work denials, and (4) ensuring zero denials go unworked. Plus, low denial rates can still be improved—we routinely help practices achieve 3-4% rates.
Do you handle all types of denials?
Yes. We work all denial categories: coding/billing errors, missing information, medical necessity, authorization issues, timely filing, duplicate claims, coordination of benefits, and more. We also handle both initial denials and appeal denials through all levels.
