FAQ

Specific to your specialty. If it's not here, an RCM specialist will answer it directly.

The anesthesiology denials we work most often are time documentation mismatch, medical direction ratio exceeded, and missing surgical cpt linkage. Each one is categorized by root cause, prioritized by recoverable value and timely-filing risk, and fed back into prevention at the front desk and in coding.

A structured review of your anesthesiology denials, A/R aging, coding patterns, and underpayments — findings are yours to keep, whether or not we work together.
