Medical practices often lose revenue because insurance claims sit unresolved for weeks. Payers count on inconsistent follow-ups, and many practices unintentionally deliver just that. At Independent Practice Partners, we know how quickly claims can fall through the cracks when your staff is already stretched thin. That’s why our insurance follow-up services track, escalate, and resolve outstanding claims to protect your bottom line.
Recover Lost Revenue From Unpaid Claims
Insurance follow-up is the process of tracking, reviewing, and resolving unpaid or denied claims to ensure your practice receives the reimbursement it’s owed. It involves consistent communication with payers, correcting errors, appealing denials, and resubmitting claims when necessary. At IPP, we manage this process for you, so you and your staff don’t have to chase down payments. Our team ensures every outstanding claim is followed through with persistence, helping to protect your revenue and streamline your billing workflow.
You May Need Insurance Follow-Up If:
- You have a growing list of unpaid claims
- You receive frequent insurance denials or rejections
- You notice delays in reimbursement from payers
- You lack the staff time to track claim statuses
- You struggle to identify reasons for payment issues
- You have an inconsistent cash flow due to claim backlogs
- You’re unsure which claims require appeals or corrections
Our Insurance Follow-Up Services
Identify and Prioritize Outstanding Claims
We start by reviewing your aging reports and identifying all unpaid or underpaid claims. Using billing analytics and real-time tracking tools, we prioritize follow-ups based on payer response timelines, claim age, and reimbursement value. This ensures your highest-risk and highest-value claims receive immediate attention, improving the speed and impact of recovery.
Investigate Denials and Initiate Appeals
When claims are denied or rejected, we investigate the root cause, whether it’s a coding error, missing documentation, or payer-specific policy issue. Our team prepares and submits well-supported appeals, complete with detailed justifications and relevant attachments. We ensure each appeal meets the payer’s deadlines, maximizing your chances of full reimbursement.
Communicate Directly With Payers
Our insurance follow-up specialists stay in constant contact with insurance companies, holding them accountable for delays or discrepancies. We speak directly with payer representatives to confirm receipt, request status updates, and escalate unresolved issues when needed. This active approach helps shorten resolution times and prevents claims from aging out.
