Dispute Resolution Phase
Exhausting every payer remedy through clinical and administrative channels.
Phase 2 Overview | The Strategy Behind Administrative Recovery
Most payers deny claims hoping you won't appeal. Phase 2 is where you systematically overturn denials using clinical evidence, contractual obligations, and administrative remedies - before litigation becomes necessary.
Automated Demand Generation
The platform generates Level 1 and Level 2 appeals automatically, pulling clinical evidence from the claim file and citing specific policy provisions that support reimbursement.
Clinical Denial Overturn
Medical necessity denials are reversed using AI-powered clinical argument generation, which analyzes the clinical record and identifies supporting medical guidelines.
Peer-to-Peer Coordination
When payers request peer-to-peer reviews, the platform schedules the call, prepares the clinical brief, and tracks the outcome within the claim file.
Actionable Worklists | The "How" of Phase 2
Phase 2 is where denials are overturned systematically. Here's how your team will operate inside the platform.
Medical Review Queue – Clinicians Reviewing "Medical Necessity" Denials
When a payer denies a claim citing "medical necessity," the case is routed to the Medical Review Queue, where clinical staff review the denial reason and prepare a clinical rebuttal.
Trigger Action:
The platform analyzes the clinical record and suggests relevant medical guidelines (e.g., MCG, InterQual) that support the treatment decision, which the clinician can incorporate into the appeal.
Level 1 Appeal Queue – Overturning Administrative Denials
Administrative denials (e.g., "authorization not obtained," "timely filing") are handled through the Level 1 Appeal Queue, where the platform generates appeal letters citing policy language and contractual deadlines.
Trigger Action:
If the payer fails to respond within the contractual timeframe, the platform automatically escalates the case to Level 2 or dispute resolution demand.
Demand Letter Queue – Final Administrative Remedy Before Litigation
If Level 1 and Level 2 appeals fail, the platform generates a formal demand letter citing breach of contract and threatening litigation if the payer does not remit payment within 30 days.
Trigger Action:
If the payer ignores the demand letter, the case is automatically routed to Phase 3 (Litigation Preparation) for merits review and suit authorization.
Integrated Technology | How Phase 2 Is Powered
MediLegal AI™
The platform uses natural language processing to scan clinical notes and extract key facts that support medical necessity, reducing appeal preparation time by 70%.
MediLegal AI™ identifies diagnosis codes, treatment protocols, and outcome measures that align with payer medical policies, giving your team the strongest possible clinical argument.
Workflow Phases
Before you escalate to litigation, the platform analyzes the case's legal merit using historical settlement data and case law, predicting the likelihood of recovery.
Workflow Phases help you prioritize high-value cases and avoid pursuing claims with weak legal foundations, maximizing your recovery ROI.
The Transition | Moving from Phase 2 to Phase 3
A claim only advances to Phase 3 (Litigation Preparation) when the platform confirms that all administrative remedies have been exhausted and the payer has failed to respond to demand letters within the contractual timeframe.
Automatic Trigger |
If a payer fails to respond to a demand letter within 30 days, the platform sends an escalation alert to the legal team and routes the case to the Litigation Preparation Queue.
