Claim Denial Appeal for Cardiology Practice Managers with athenahealth
Run claim denial appeal on autopilot inside athenahealth.
The Problem
Cardiology denials pile up in Epic — each appeal takes 45 minutes of billing-team time and most die in the to-do pile because there aren't enough hours.
What We Build in athenahealth
AI classifies denials by reason code, drafts the appeal letter with chart-cited clinical support, resubmits with corrected info, and tracks the payer response — appeal capture rate doubles. Purpose-built for teams running athenahealth — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
