Payer Intelligence FAQ

How often is payer intelligence updated?

Source lists are reviewed monthly, and updates are published whenever a rule or enforcement change materially affects billing workflows.

Does this replace payer policy manuals?

No. This is a decision-support layer that translates payer changes into operational actions and directs teams to the primary source for verification.

What data should I collect to prioritize payer changes?

Start with payer mix, denial rate by payer, top 20 CPT/HCPCS services, and authorization turnaround time by payer.

How do I use this with my EHR and clearinghouse?

Use the rule cards to define structured documentation fields, queue ownership, and escalation SLAs, then validate EHR/clearinghouse workflows against those requirements.

Can I share this with my billing team?

Yes. The execution templates are designed to be copied directly into SOPs and training guides.
