What this denial means, and to whom
$870.63 paid, $25.37 withheld
Billed $896.00. The payer paid $870.63, withheld $25.37. Of the $25.37 withheld, $25.37 is modelled as recoverable; less $31.00 to work it, that is -$5.63 net. Expenses incurred after coverage terminated. Check the enrolment span: if the member was covered on the service date this is wrongly denied and worth appealing. On these estimates the work costs more than it returns, which is a judgement about this model's figures rather than a rule.
From: 835 CLP amounts and CAS adjustments on this claim; the denial derivation for the modelled recoverable amount and filing window.
Limits: Patient responsibility reported on an 835 is not revenue. This application cannot say whether the practice billed it, whether the patient paid, or whether a secondary payer covered it — those live in a billing system it does not read. The recoverable figure and the deadline are estimates, not a payer commitment.
