A Guide To Increasing Your Clean Claims Rate

What is a clean claim?  

A clean claim is a successfully processed and reimbursed insurance claim. A clean claim has no errors, rejections, or need for manual intervention or additional data.  

Having a high rate of clean claims demonstrates an organization’s ability to capture and enter quality data the first time. Submitting a clean claim leads to quicker reimbursement and account resolution.

Criteria for a Clean Claim:  

  1. A clean claim is submitted by a licensed healthcare provider.  
  2. The coverage of a clean claim was in effect on the date that the organization provided the healthcare service. Also, the services covered must be under the patient’s health insurance.  
  3. To eliminate questions on medical necessity, procedure codes must support the diagnosis codes.  
  4. All the codes used on the claim must be current.  
  5. All information must be correct and placed on the appropriate fields of the claim form.  
  6. Accurate identification of payer, including the payer ID and the mailing address.  
  7. The claim must submit it within a specified time.  
  8. Any other required supporting documents are provided.
