  • Track appeal deadlines, payer responses, outstanding balances, and expected reimbursement.
  • Communicate with payers regarding claim status, denials, payment discrepancies, and appeal determinations.
  • Identify recurring denial trends and recommend corrective actions to prevent future denials.
  • Review payer-specific requirements related to laboratory testing, medical necessity, prior authorization, coverage policies, and documentation.
  • Maintain accurate denial and appeal records and document all follow-up activities in the billing or practice-management system.
  • Escalate complex or high-dollar claims, payer disputes, compliance concerns, and potential contractual issues to management.
