Claims that came back and stayed back
Know why claims are denied, and which ones are worth chasing.
A denial is not lost revenue until somebody decides to stop working it. Most practices never see denials grouped in a way that makes that decision possible, so the ones that would have been paid on a second submission get written off alongside the ones that never had a chance. We group them by root cause and show where recovery effort actually pays.

Showing 8 of 8 sample claims. Payer names are fictional.
Sample denials for one month, grouped by root cause. Select a cause to filter the claims beneath it.
What it does
Denials get grouped by what actually caused them, whether that is an eligibility problem, a missing authorization, a coding issue or a filing deadline that passed. That turns an undifferentiated pile into a small number of causes, most of which repeat.
What you get
A clear read on where rework will actually be paid, and which causes keep coming back and are worth fixing at the front of the process instead of the back. Denials that were quietly written off show up here too.
Why you can trust it
Every grouping opens into the claims inside it, so a cause is never just a number on a chart. You can see the individual claims, what happened to each, and decide for yourself what is worth pursuing.
