What this denial means, and to whom
$183.19 paid, $105.81 withheld
Billed $289.00. The payer paid $183.19, withheld $105.81. Of the $105.81 withheld, $105.81 is modelled as recoverable; less $31.00 to work it, that is $74.81 net. Not covered by this payer. Resubmit to the correct payer rather than appealing. The modelled filing window closed 627 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.
