Working instructions

  1. 1Use current applicable sources; do not apply one generic filing period to all payers or claims.
  2. 2Keep patient, claim, and clinical information in approved secured systems and enter only controlled references here.
  3. 3Record both the external deadline and any earlier internal escalation date so they are not confused.
  4. 4Preserve evidence for original, rejected, corrected, and replacement activity as applicable.
  5. 5Close only when the evidence can be retrieved and the filing risk or payer disposition is verified.
