Appeal Triage Priority Card

What's Inside

The Card is the read. The Workbook is the daily queue.

Where denials stem from

60% to 70% of denials stem from coding errors, CDI gaps, and payer rule violations that happen before the claim is submitted

The real cost of denial recovery

Rework, write-offs, and cash flow drag that most finance teams don't measure

A 3-step prevention framework

Diagnose root causes, intervene upstream, and measure financial impact

Implementation roadmap

what to do in Week 1 - 12 to shift from recovery to prevention

Sample ROI calculation

The Three-Variable Priority Formula

Claim value × overturn probability ÷ days-to-deadline. Card explains the formula and the sort logic; Workbook is the live calculator that returns a priority score per claim with URGENT, HIGH, or STANDARD flags.

Payer Deadline Matrix

Five-payer reference card. UHC commercial 65 days; Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana all at 180. MA windows uniform at 60 days under CMS. Day-5 flag column marks where the re-sort applies.

Overturn Rates by Category

Six denial categories ranked by overturn probability. Prior auth and medical necessity lead at 70–75% base; peer-to-peer adds a 15–20 point lift on the top three categories.

Daily Aging Tracker

Enter denial date; days-since auto-calculates. UHC commercial denials at day 5 or older auto-flag URGENT. The operational answer to "why didn't anyone catch this in time."

Three Questions Before You Re-Sequence

Can the queue sort on three fields, is peer-to-peer staffed for day 20, how will you measure the change. Do and don't framing on each.

Quarterly Readiness Scorecard

Twelve questions scored 1 to 5. Workbook maps the total to one of four readiness levels — from "reactive" to "mature."

- WHY RAPIDCLAIMS

The Workbook Triages the Queue. RapidClaims Shrinks It.

The Workbook tells you which appeals to work first and which payer's clock is about to run out. RapidClaims runs the layer above — validating every claim against AMA 2021 MDM, payer-specific acceptance rules, and the documentation patterns that drive UHC's higher denial rate in the first place. The queue the Workbook triages is the queue RapidClaims is built to keep small.
