Unpostables Tracking Sample Clauses

Unpostables Tracking. Unpostables Tracking involves contacting payers via web, telephone, fax, and direct mail inquiries to obtain detailed claim data or copies of claim remittance and proof of payment to be used for posting activities for unpostable records. Unpostable records are not able to be uniquely associated with a specific charge line in athenaNet and therefore are not yet postable into the system. The goal of the workflow is to obtain the information needed to supplement the unpostable record so that the data can then be applied to individual charge lines in athenaNet and posted accordingly. Only unpostable records for which contact with the payer is required to aid resolution are processed in this workflow. Unpostable records are categorized by the characteristics and resolution path of the records. The categories handled by the Unpostables Tracking process are: • Missing EOB • Missing Check • Missing EFT • Missing Page • Provider Takeback • Check Amount Different than EOB • Rebate Check • Unreadable EOB Athena places claims in this workflow daily for processing by the IBM Unpostables Tracking Team. Prior to contacting the payer on an unpostable record, the record must first be thoroughly reviewed through a detailed analysis of the unpostable history, including, without limitation, (i) review of all events visible from the unpostable edit page in chronological order to understand the processing to date of each record, and (ii) review of any changes in status or added notes that could impact the dialogue with the payer once contact is established. On completion of the above analysis, including identification of the payer from which remittance documentation is needed, the agent contacts the payer by calling the number(s) listed in athenaNet, or by another contact method as directed by Athena. The Unpostables Tracking team will follow documented workflows supplied by Athena. Details of the call and the relevant data points collected for each payer contact event will be updated in athenaNet through (i) direct entry in unique data fields; (ii) creation of an updated unpostable note that contains a unique Kick Code to characterize the information received from the payer and to identify the specific reason for the call; and (iii) identify likely reasons for the initial failure of the transaction to be received and processed in a timely manner.
