Timely Filing Report

Timely Filing Report

Overview

The Timely Filing Report helps billers track claims approaching their filing deadlines or those already overdue. By proactively managing these claims, users can minimize the risk of denials due to late submissions, ensuring a higher success rate for claim acceptance and reimbursement. The report allows billers to track claims approaching their filing deadlines. The report displays the number of days remaining before a claim reaches its timely filing limit. If the deadline has passed, the claim will appear as overdue in the report. Once a claim is submitted and payment is posted in the system, it will no longer appear in the report.

This report helps billers proactively manage timely filing requirements and prevent claim denials due to missed deadlines.

You can export the report in CSV, PDF, or Excel format.
