What Causes Claim Denials in Medical Billing

Claim denials mostly occur due to providing incorrect patient information, coding errors, and a lack of prior authorization. Service is not covered by insurance; duplicate claims and late submissions are other common reasons for denials. Address all these factors and improve RCM efficiency with panaHEALTH denial management services.

Inaccurate Patient Information

Small errors, like Incorrect patient information or a misspelled name that does not match the insurance company’s records.

Invalid Medical Code

Medical codes that do not match the provider's documents and do not follow coding standards and classifications lead to claim denials.

Eligibility Issues

Service provided is not covered under the insurance policy, and authorization leads to direct violation and claim denial.

Late/ Duplicate Submissions

Claims submitted after the outlined deadline or multiple submissions result in an automatic denial and financial loss for the provider.

Key Categories of Healthcare Claim Denials

Claim denials in healthcare are broadly categorized into the following types. Understanding the types is crucial for effective denial management in medical billing and optimizing the revenue cycle.

Hard Denials

Hard Denials

Irreversible claim denials that can’t be corrected or resubmitted. This results in a non-payable claim from the payer, allowing the provider to bill the patient directly.
Soft Denials

Soft Denials

Temporary denials, typically the result of correctable mistakes like incorrect medical coding, incomplete patient information, and other documentation inaccuracies.
Preventable Denials

Preventable Denials

Denials that arise due to administrative oversights, like not obtaining prior authorization, unmatched eligibility requirements, and filling incorrect patient information.
Clinical Denials

Clinical Denials

Usually occurs when the patient questions the medical necessity, appropriateness, or level of care provided. Denial management needs a formal appeal to justify the treatment.
Administrative Denials

Administrative Denials

A result of errors in claim submission protocols, including missed filing deadlines or policy violations. Accurate and timely claim filing is required to ensure reimbursement compliance.

Claim Denials vs. Claim Rejections – Explore the Differences

In medical billing, claim denials and claim rejections are major issues, leading to delays or preventing reimbursement. With reliable RCM denial management, panaHEATL ensures every medical claim is clean, compliant, and submitted on time.

Claim Denials

When a submitted claim is processed by the insurance company but denied due to policy-related issues. Common reasons include medical necessity, failure to meet specific requirements, and non-covered services. Effective denial resolution includes identifying the major causes, resubmitting accurately, and making all necessary corrections.

VS

Claim Rejections

Arises when the payer refuses to accept the claim because of some missing information, formatting, or coding mistakes. These claims are not entered into the payer’s system, which needs to be corrected and resubmitted. Leverage our strategic Rejection Management Services to ensure accurate claim submission and minimize delays.
