How Does Claim Scrubbing Relate to Denial Management?
Charge entry and claim scrubbing take place before claim submission. Denial management generally addresses claims that have been denied and require further review or action. These activities are distinct but connected within the revenue cycle.
Claim scrubbing can help identify potential issues before submission. Denial management can help address denied claims and review recurring patterns that may warrant additional attention earlier in the process. Neither activity can guarantee that every claim will be accepted or paid.
