Turn Claim Scrubbing Into a Revenue Cycle Advantage

A claim can appear complete while still containing errors that trigger rejection or denial. The module validates the relationships between codes, units, modifiers, diagnoses, and coverage rules.

Prevent Rejections With Pre-Submission Claim Intelligence

Prevent Rejections With Pre-Submission Claim Intelligence

Identify coding and billing issues before the claim reaches the clearinghouse or payer. Our claim scrubbing software runs critical edits across the claim to help your team resolve NCCI conflicts, MUE violations, modifier issues, add-on code errors, and coverage-related discrepancies before submission.

Reduce Claim Rework and Submission Cycles

Reduce Claim Rework and Submission Cycles

Stop sending claims back and forth between the biller, clearinghouse, and payer. Catch issues at the source and correct them before the initial submission, helping your team reduce avoidable claim rejections, resubmissions, and manual follow-up.

Give Billers Actionable Edits, Not Just Error Codes

Give Billers Actionable Edits, Not Just Error Codes

Don’t make your billing team interpret cryptic edit codes or NCCI messages. Every finding explains the issue and points to the specific claim line or field that needs attention, so billers know exactly what to fix.

Validate Every Element of the Claim

Validate Every Element of the Claim

Go beyond basic form-level validation. Scrub CPT/HCPCS codes, modifiers, units, diagnosis pointers, service lines, and claim-level relationships to identify issues that could affect clean-claim submission.

Fits Into Your Existing 837 Workflow

Fits Into Your Existing 837 Workflow

Keep your existing practice management system, billing platform, and clearinghouse. Import the 837 you already generate, scrub and correct the claim, regenerate the clean 837, and send it through your existing submission workflow

Accelerate Clean-Claim Submission Rates

Accelerate Clean-Claim Submission Rates

Move from claim creation to validation to submission without unnecessary handoffs. Generate the corrected 837, submit through the clearinghouse, and maintain supporting documentation against the encounter.

Features Built for Smarter Claim Scrubbing Using AI

Turn remittance data into prioritized work, evidence-backed appeals, and measurable recovery.

Remittance-Based Denial Intake

Comprehensive Claim Validation

Validate the complete claim before submission. Check service lines, codes, modifiers, units, diagnosis pointers, and required fields to identify issues where they actually occur.

Intelligent Denial Prioritization

Code Validity Checks

Verify that codes exist, are billable, and were effective on the service date. Catch invalid coding before the claim leaves your system.

Root-Cause Classification

NCCI Unbundling Edits

Identify procedure pairs that cannot be billed together. Apply modifier-indicator handling to determine whether the combination can be appropriately billed.

Evidence-Matched Appeal Preparation

MUE Unit Validation

Check submitted units against the published maximum for each code. Flag excessive units before they become a submission issue.

Evidence-Based Appeal Drafting

Add-On Code Validation

Check add-on procedures against their required primary procedures. Flag missing primary services before submission

Human-in-the-Loop Denial Resolution

Modifier Compatibility

Validate modifiers against individual codes and modifier combinations. Identify modifiers that are invalid or cannot be used together.

Remedy and Recovery Management

Actionable Error Guidance

Turn technical claim edits into clear next steps. Every finding identifies the affected line or field and explains what needs to be corrected

Denial-to-Recovery Reconciliation

837 Claim Generation

Generate a clean 837 from the validated claim record. View and download the file before submission when needed.

Denial Analytics and Root-Cause Insights

Direct Claim Submission

Send validated claims through your clearinghouse instead of exporting files for manual movement between systems

Choose a Smarter Claim Scrubbing and Submission Workflow

A streamlined claim-scrubbing workflow takes the claim you already produce, validates it, guides corrections, and sends the clean claim to the payer.
