Most denials are fixable in a few minutes if you tackle them weekly. The denial queue groups by reason so you can fix one, fix many.

Appeal

Tap a group to see every affected claim. Start appeal pre-fills the letter with patient demographics, claim history, and the payer’s denial language.

Denials cluster by reason code - fix one CO-16 and bulk-fix the other two in the same group

Billing → Denials. Grouped by reason code with counts and total dollars at risk. Each group is tagged Appeal or Adjust so you can triage in seconds — tap a group to see all affected claims; bulk-fix where possible.

Filing an appeal

Open the denial → Start appeal. We prepopulate patient demographics, claim history, and the denial reason. Add the clinical narrative and supporting docs; submit.
