What are Clean Claim Reviews

Clean Claim Reviews are part of the Payment Integrity program that provides detailed clinical reviews of inpatient hospital billing and includes management of claims through resolution and appeal activities with providers. Payment integrity is about adherence to standard billing practices and accountability at every level; to identify and eliminate errors or inconsistencies and ensure claims are paid accurately the first time.

Clean claim reviews can be implemented in tandem with a reference-based pricing reimbursement model, but they can also be used as a standalone service. In a network setting, clean claim reviews are essential for reducing high-dollar catastrophic inpatient claims spend.

The 6 Degrees Health Difference

6 Degrees Health takes a service-first approach to our Clean Claim Reviews to ensure accuracy in billing and fair payments. Using our extensive cost containment experience and clinical expertise, we conduct the reviews in accordance with industry standard guidelines and evaluate every line item to identify and remove billing errors and inconsistencies.

Our clinical reviews are completed by registered nurses to ensure each billed line item, including routine supplies and services, pharmacy charges, laboratory, level of care, and implants are correct. This detailed review removes erroneous line items and verifies billing accuracy. The Clean Claim Review process identifies errors on the claim which cannot be balance-billed to the member and may also help reduce stop-loss premiums.

Our comprehensive process manages claims during the review stage, as well as through payment, resolution, and appeals. Simply by leveraging our pre-payment reviews for healthcare services already rendered, you can see incredible savings.
