What this denial means, and to whom
$428.89 paid, $328.11 withheld
Billed $757.00. The payer paid $428.89, withheld $328.11. Of the $328.11 withheld, $328.11 is modelled as recoverable; less $31.00 to work it, that is $297.11 net. Diagnosis inconsistent with procedure; review coding and resubmit. The modelled filing window closed 347 days ago. Confirm the contractual deadline before deciding whether a late submission or reconsideration is still open.
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.
