Denials by Location

With the Denials by Location function, you can print a detailed analysis report, sorted by location, of procedures that have been denied. Procedures that have subsequently been paid in full or have had further activity from the same Carrier as the Denial, such as refiles, payments or adjustments, are not included in the report. The insurance denial reason is not a required field when denying a charge, so this report reflects only those denied charges where an Insurance Denial Code was attached to the denial.
