What this engagement solves

Billers shouldn't be your first line of QA. The denials you catch at billing are the ones you've already paid to create. Pre-flight moves QA upstream — every claim validated against the documentation before it hits the clearinghouse.

Denials caught after submission

Billers learn about a documentation hole when the EOB comes back. By then the equipment is delivered and the takeback risk is real.

KX modifier rules misapplied

KX rules vary by product, payer, and diagnosis. They get keyed wrong, and Medicare takebacks land six months later when the cash is already spent.

Documentation-to-claim mismatch

The claim says one thing, the documentation packet says another. The mismatch becomes a denial or a downcode.

No early warning on risky claims

Every claim is treated the same at submission. The 3–5% that are obviously going to bounce should be flagged before they ever leave.

What you get

Fixed scope. Fixed price range. Delivered on the platform you already run.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our clearinghouse edits?

No — it runs before them. Clearinghouse edits catch format errors. Pre-Flight catches documentation and medical-necessity gaps the clearinghouse doesn't see.

Does it work with our existing biller workflow?

Yes. Pre-Flight surfaces risky claims to your billers; it doesn't replace them. Billers continue to work in Brightree / WellSky.

Will it integrate with Waystar / Availity / Change Healthcare?

Yes. Pre-Flight runs before the claim is handed off to your clearinghouse of choice.

How accurate is the denial-risk score?

The score is calibrated on your historical denial data during weeks 1–2. After tuning, the flagged 3–5% bucket captures the majority of avoidable denials.

Care Plan?

18% of build fee per year — keeps the payer edits and KX rules current as CMS publishes changes.
