What this denial means, and to whom
$138.01 paid, $52.99 withheld
Billed $191.00. The payer paid $138.01, withheld $52.99. Of the $52.99 withheld, $52.99 is modelled as recoverable; less $31.00 to work it, that is $21.99 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 571 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.
