What this denial means, and to whom
$818.04 paid, $8.96 withheld
Billed $827.00. The payer paid $818.04, withheld $8.96. Of the $8.96 withheld, $8.96 is modelled as recoverable; less $31.00 to work it, that is -$22.04 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. The modelled filing window closed 94 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.
