What this denial means, and to whom
$334.00 withheld, nothing paid
Billed $334.00. The payer paid $0.00, withheld $334.00. Of the $334.00 withheld, $334.00 is modelled as recoverable; less $31.00 to work it, that is $303.00 net. Diagnosis inconsistent with procedure; review coding and resubmit. The modelled filing window closed 542 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.
