Requesting a Claim Review

If you have a concern about how a claim processed, you can request a claim review, also called an allowable charge review. (Note: This process is separate from the claims appeals process, which is only for charges denied as "not covered" or "not medically necessary.")

Common Reasons for a Claim Review

  • allowed amount disputes
  • charges denied as "Included in a paid service."
  • charges denied as "Requested information not received."
  • claim denied as "Provider not authorized."
  • ClaimsXten™ denials
  • coding issues
  • cost-share and deductible issues
  • eligibility denials
  • other health insurance issues
  • penalties for no authorization
  • Point of Service disputes (Exception: Point of Service for emergency services is appealable.)
  • third party liability issues
  • timely filing limit denials
  • wrong procedure code
