Underpayment Recovery: Are Your Payers Honoring Your Contracts?
Michael Torres10 min read
Payers don’t always pay what they agreed to. Contract-variance analysis recovers the silent dollars between your rate sheet and your remittances.
A negotiated rate is only worth something if the payer actually pays it. Underpayments — claims adjudicated below contracted rates — are common, easy to miss, and add up to real money over a year.
Find the variance
- Load expected rates from each contract
- Compare every remittance to the expected allowable
- Flag systematic underpayments by payer and code
- Appeal with the contract as evidence
