Question

Accepted Answer

Denials are common in AR and can be categorized into hard, soft, and administrative denials.

Hard denials occur when a claim is rejected and cannot be resubmitted, such as for duplicate claims or expired insurance.
Soft denials are temporary and can be corrected, such as missing information or incorrect coding.
Administrative denials are caused by errors in the billing process, such as incorrect patient information or invalid codes.
Other types of denials include clinical denials, which are based on medical necessity, and financial denials, which occur when a patient's insurance does not cover a service or treatment.
Denials can be appealed and overturned with proper documentation and communication with insurance companies.
