Claim Denial Rework Agent

Recover denied claims before filing deadlines

Claim Denial Rework Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Denied claims are lost money unless someone reads the reason, fixes the cause and resubmits in time. When a remittance file arrives, this agent reads each denial, groups denials by reason code and ranks them by amount and days left to appeal. Claims within 15 days of the deadline go first. It pulls chart and authorization data and works out the likely fix: a missing modifier, an authorization number, a diagnosis that does not support the service or a visit limit. It drafts the corrected claim or appeal and checks it against the payer's edits. Claims that cannot be fixed from the record go to the provider with a question. A biller or provider approves every resubmission. It then watches for payment and moves to the next appeal level if denied again. Write-offs need a person's decision. Edge case: a timely filing denial is checked against proof of first submission.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

Denials are ranked by amount and days left to appeal. Each reason code maps to a fix, and the fix must pass payer edits before resubmission.

  • Claims within 15 days of the deadline go first
  • Write-offs require a person's decision
  • Patterns of the same denial get a root-cause note

An example run

What happensIn June, a therapy practice had 37 denials. Twenty-two lacked the telehealth modifier. The agent corrected them and they passed payer edits. Four failed the edit check because treatment plans lacked signatures, so the therapist signed them before resubmission. The biller approved all 26. Two weeks later, 24 were paid; the agent drafted second-level appeals for the other two.
