I have a new client with a bit of an old mess. They have patients that, during a staff transitional period, they did not obtain pre-auths on (under previous billing company). They have been trying to get it authorized after the fact, but that is not working for them (patients have been discharged). The claims will be denied. Do you think there is any hope of an appeal working? Any suggestions so these are not a lost cause for them? Of note, they are not participating with insurance carriers.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Adrienne
