Case Stages

Cases have 3 active stages:

1. New
2. In Progress
3. Awaiting Payment

• The New stage is for filling in the initial details of the case and assigning it to a team member to take next steps on.
• The In Progress stage is for contacting the relevant parties (payer, patient, internal team members, etc.) about the outstanding balance for the claim(s) and why it was denied (investigating a duplicate charge, contacting a payer about timely filing exceptions, etc.).
• The Awaiting Payment stage is to track claims for which action was taken and a response is expected from the payer. Use the Follow Up By field to ensure regular follow-ups are performed.

Click 'Resolve Case' at any point to mark a claim as resolved. Click 'Cancel Case' at any point to mark a claim as canceled.

note

Only one active case can be tracked against a claim at any point. To open a new case against a claim, resolve or cancel the existing case.

There are 6 views configured for easy access to viewing cases based on their statuses:

1. All Cases
2. Open Cases (new, in progress, or awaiting payment)
3. My Open Cases (open cases the logged in user is the owner of)
4. Cases In Progress
5. Cases Awaiting Payment
6. Resolved Cases

Case Dashboards

Reference the Case Insights dashboard to easily understand how many open cases your organization has with each payer for each case subject, how much is outstanding on claims with open cases, and how many cases are canceled/resolved/in progress.

Drill down by case owner or CARC code to get even deeper insights.

The Tier 1 dashboard gives you quick access to active cases, and resolved cases, draft emails, and open activities (tasks, appointments, etc.).
