Claim denials are a persistent challenge for healthcare providers, often leading to delayed payments, lost revenue, and administrative headaches. Understanding the root causes of denials is the first step in addressing them. Below, we outline the top  reasons claims are denied and how Cair Health’s AI-powered solutions resolve each issue.
1. Coding Errors
The Problem: Incorrect or incomplete coding is one of the most common reasons for denials. With thousands of ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes to navigate, even experienced coders can make mistakes.
How Cair Health Helps: Cair AI uses advanced large language models (LLMs) to cross-reference codes with payer policies in real-time. This ensures every claim is coded accurately before submission, reducing human error and improving first-time pass rates.
2. Missing or Incomplete Documentation
The Problem: Payers often require specific supporting documents for claims. Missing or incomplete documentation can lead to outright rejections.
The Cair Health Solution: Our platform proactively checks each claim for missing information and alerts billing teams to address gaps before submission. This minimizes delays and ensures all requirements are met.
3. Failure to Stay Updated with Payer Policies
The Problem: Payer policies are constantly changing, making it difficult for billing teams to stay compliant. Outdated practices can result in denied claims.
The Cair Health Solution: Cair Health’s AI models are continuously trained on a vast dataset of policy documents and updates. This ensures compliance with the latest payer rules, so claims are always submitted correctly.
4. Eligibility Issues
The Problem: Claims are often denied because the patient’s insurance eligibility wasn’t verified or the procedure wasn’t covered.
The Cair Health Solution: Our solution integrates with eligibility verification systems, flagging potential coverage issues early in the process. This allows billing teams to resolve eligibility concerns before submitting claims.
5. Incorrect Patient Information
The Problem: Claims are often denied because of errors in patient information, such as incorrect names, dates of birth, or insurance ID numbers. These seemingly small mistakes can lead to delays and require significant effort to correct and resubmit.
How Cair Health Helps: Cair AI automatically detects discrepancies in patient information before claims are submitted and applies the necessary corrections in real time. This ensures claims are accurate from the start, streamlining the process and reducing the need for manual intervention.
