Our 6-Step Claims Management Process

Every claim we touch goes through a structured, six-step process designed to eliminate errors, meet payer requirements, and accelerate reimbursement. Here's exactly how we do it.

Step - 01

Encounter & Charge Capture

Every clean claim starts with complete, accurate charge capture. We make sure no billable service goes unrecorded.

  • Collect patient encounter data from EHR, intake forms, and provider notes
  • Verify date of service, rendering provider, location, and visit level
  • Flag missing, duplicate, or conflicting charge entries for provider review
  • Cross-reference documentation to ensure each procedure has supporting clinical notes
  • Assign preliminary CPT codes or service categories from provider descriptions
  • Identify and address frequent charge omissions or documentation gaps

Coding Review & Validation

Before any claim is built, we ensure the coding is fully compliant, complete, and optimized for maximum reimbursement.

  • Apply accurate CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes based on clinical documentation
  • Add required modifiers (e.g., 25, 59, LT/RT) per documentation and payer policy
  • Validate medical necessity against payer guidelines including LCD and NCD references
  • Screen for NCCI edit violations, bundling issues, and E/M coding accuracy
  • Flag potential upcoding, downcoding, or code-to-documentation mismatches
  • Confirm correct global period usage for surgical and procedural specialties
Step - 03

Payer-Specific Claim Configuration

Every payer has its own rules. We tailor each claim to match the precise requirements of the receiving payer, so nothing comes back on a technicality.

  • Confirm payer ID, taxonomy codes, billing and rendering provider NPIs, and enrollment status
  • Apply correct place of service codes (e.g., 11 vs. 22) and billing formats (CMS-1500 vs. UB-04)
  • Attach telehealth modifiers and claim type flags where applicable
  • Identify payers requiring additional documentation or attachments
  • Format claims to meet Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and workers’ comp specifications
  • Route specialty services through carve-out networks when required
Step - 04

Insurance & Eligibility Cross-Check

Before submission, we re-verify insurance data to catch any changes, expirations, or coordination of benefits issues that could trigger a rejection.

  • Reconfirm primary insurance coverage, policy effective and termination dates, and plan type
  • Validate patient demographics, subscriber relationship, and coordination of benefits status
  • Detect termed policies, invalid group numbers, and incorrect insurance sequencing
  • Confirm liability versus health coverage order for accident and injury claims
Step - 05

Claim Scrubbing & Pre-Submission Audit

We catch every issue before it reaches the payer using a combination of automated scrubbing technology and hands-on expert review.

  • Run every claim through automated scrubbing engines for format issues, missing fields, and code compatibility errors
  • Manually audit high-risk procedures, claims with prior denials, and flags like missing NPIs
  • Review logic-based edits including age/gender conflicts and invalid revenue codes
  • Prevent duplicate claim submissions before they create payer-level problems
  • Resolve all scrubbed errors in real time prior to submission

Step - 06

Electronic Submission & Acceptance Tracking

We don’t just submit and forget. Every claim is tracked through to payer acceptance and flagged immediately if something needs attention.

  • Batch and transmit claims electronically via clearinghouse or direct-to-payer integration
  • Confirm successful transmission and receipt of payer acknowledgment reports (277, 999)
  • Log claim tracking IDs, batch confirmations, and expected payer response timelines
  • Queue claims for follow-up or rejection review based on clearinghouse feedback
  • Monitor scrub-to-acceptance ratio and continuously optimize for 98%+ clean claim performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical claims management?

Medical claims management is the end-to-end process of creating, submitting, tracking, and following up on healthcare claims to ensure your practice gets paid accurately and on time. It covers everything from charge capture and coding validation to payer-specific formatting, electronic submission, and rejection resolution.

A clean claim rate of 98%+ means that 98 out of every 100 claims we submit are accepted by the payer on the first pass with no errors, rejections, or requests for additional information. This dramatically reduces the time and cost of rework, accelerates your reimbursement timeline, and keeps your AR aging healthy.

We prevent rejections through a multi-layer pre-submission process: accurate charge capture, coding validation, payer-specific claim configuration, insurance cross-checking, and automated claim scrubbing. By the time a claim reaches the payer, it has already been reviewed for errors, eligibility issues, and documentation gaps.

Yes. We submit claims to all major payers including Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurers, Medicare Advantage plans, and workers' compensation and auto liability carriers. Our team is familiar with the specific formatting, documentation, and modifier requirements for each payer type.

No. Meridian RCM integrates directly with your existing EHR and workflow, there is no new software to purchase, no platform to learn, and no disruption to how your team currently operates. We plug in and optimize from day one.

Most practices see measurable improvements within their first billing cycle, which is typically within 30 to 60 days. You can expect faster claim turnaround, a higher clean claim rate, fewer rejections, and improved cash flow as our process takes over.

A rejected or denied claim triggers our denial management workflow immediately. Our team identifies the root cause, corrects the issue, and resubmits the claim with proper documentation. We also track every denial to identify patterns and address them upstream so the same issue doesn't repeat.
