A denial is rarely a surprise in hindsight. The missing authorisation, the mismatched code, the eligibility that lapsed a week earlier: the evidence usually existed before the claim was ever submitted.

The leak happens because that evidence sits in a different system from the one submitting the claim. Bringing eligibility, coding and submission into a single view lets you catch the problem at the point it is cheap to fix.

Track first-pass acceptance rate rather than total collections. It is the number that tells you whether your process is working, and it moves quickly once the checks run before submission rather than after.
