Why denials go unworked

Rural hospitals don't lose these appeals. They never get filed.

The PTO & Bandwidth Trap

Floor UR teams are consumed by daily census and discharge placement. Complex 10-page commercial appeals expire in aging A/R before anyone can work them.

Improper MA Downgrades

Payers bypass the Two-Midnight Rule using proprietary commercial algorithms, downgrading medically necessary inpatient stays to observation.

High Consultant Overhead

Traditional RCM consultancies demand massive minimum retainers that small rural facilities can't justify.

The Regulatory Defense Engine

Three pillars built into every appeal packet.

42 CFR § 422.101

CMS-4201-F

For Medicare Advantage denials: binding MA plans to CMS Two-Midnight standards and invalidating proprietary level-of-care criteria.

SI / IS

Objective Severity of Illness & Intensity of Service

Deep extraction of bedside nursing notes, vitals, IV titrations, and telemetry to rebut MCG/InterQual observation arguments.

CLINICAL VALIDATION

Clinical Validation Defense

Defending Sepsis-2 vs. Sepsis-3, acute respiratory failure, and encephalopathy against retrospective downcoding.

Commercial plans aren’t bound by CMS-4201-F. For commercial denials, each appeal is built on the plan’s own contract language, its published medical-necessity criteria, and the objective clinical record.

Target high-yield conditions

Where short-stay downgrades concentrate.

Chest Pain / Syncope

1–2 midnight short stays

CHF & COPD Exacerbations

Severity escalation documentation

Sepsis & Severe Sepsis

Bedside organ dysfunction defense

Cellulitis / TIA / Syncope

Failed outpatient treatment documentation

How the pilot works

Three steps. No IT tickets.

  1. STEP 01

    Execute BAA & Send 5 Charts

    No EHR integration or IT tickets. Securely transfer 5 closed commercial/MA denials from the last 90 days via encrypted PDF/SFTP.

  2. STEP 02

    We Build & Sign the Rebuttals

    Our internal engine synthesizes the chart against payer criteria; a licensed RN reviews, signs, and formats the appeal packet for submission.

  3. STEP 03

    Collect Cash, Split the Win

    Your team submits the packet. When the payer remits payment, we invoice an 18% contingency fee. If the claim is not overturned, you owe $0.

The Contingency Model

18% of cash collected. Nothing else.

  • $0 upfront. No retainer, no minimums, no setup fee.
  • Paid on remittance. We invoice only after the payer remits payment.
  • $0 if not overturned. No overturn, no fee.

The contingency agreement is reviewed with you alongside the BAA, before any charts are exchanged.
