Identify waste and abuse before payment is made
Most payment integrity solutions rely on automation of published edits and policies, leaving significant errors behind.
Our Pre-Payment Clinical Review Services combine automation with expert clinical review. Between analysis and payment, we add a level of human clinical expertise to examine claims where appropriate. This complements MultiPlan’s robust analytical programs by targeting complex issues such as contradictory or overlapping services and suspect billing patterns that are generally not addressed by computer alone.

COVID-19 Billing: 4 ways the pandemic is reshaping healthcare payments
Here are four ways COVID-19 has changed the billing landscape and what we can expect for the future.
Ways we help with pre-payment savings
Itemized, High-Dollar Bill Review
Our systems analyze claims to identify cases, or receive pre-selected cases from the payor, or a combination. We focus on higher dollar claims to identify non-standard and/or more complex billing issues such as duplicate charges or miscoding of services and recommend or negotiate a corrected reimbursement.
Clinical Negotiation
This service scores out-of-network claims for improper billing, and then takes identified claims through a clinician/coder review followed by a clinically-focused negotiation by specially-trained negotiators to reach a fair reduction.
Advanced Code Editing
Our automated technology combined with manual review by clinicians and/or medical coding experts, identifies and flags claim lines with improper coding on both in-network and out-of-network claims. Flagged charges are recommended for denial, and then education and support is provided after payment as needed to address provider questions.
