1. Denial Email Receivedtrigger
Automation detects a new email from an insurer containing denial keywords and extracts the claim ID, denial code, and patient information.
2. Parse Denial Details
The automation reads the denial letter, identifies the reason code, and determines what documents are required for resubmission based on a rules library.
3. Fetch Claim Record
Automation retrieves the original claim details using the claim ID, including patient, provider, service date, and amount.
4. Compile Required Documents
Automation searches for and attaches the necessary supporting documents (prior auth, medical records, corrected forms) from the shared folder or patient file.
5. Populate Resubmission Form
Automation fills a pre-built resubmission template with claim data, denial reason, and corrected information, then generates a PDF ready to send.
6. Send Resubmission to Insurer
Automation sends the completed resubmission form and attachments to the insurer via email or uploads to their portal.
7. Log Appeal in Tracking System
Automation records the resubmission with the appeal deadline, insurer contact, and status, and notifies the billing team.
Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
The automation handles common denial codes including missing modifiers, prior authorization requirements, patient coverage issues, incomplete documentation, and coding errors. Custom denial codes can be added to the rules library as needed.
