QUESTION 7 OF 30

If a claim is denied due to incorrect coding what would you do?

We are all human and make errors. If a claim is denied to to incorrect coding you are able to evaluate and re-file appeals of patient claims. Has this happened to you? Did you fat-finger a key? That's ok! Share a story with the interviewer of how this happened...but more importantly how you fixed it and how you learned from it.

Anonymous Answer

Denied claims must be investigated as soon as they are received. After reviewing, amend the claim with the correction.
