Service line 03 - Claim attachments

Claim Automatic Attachments

The right document rides with the claim, or answers the request. Without a bot.

Payers want records at two moments: with the initial claim, when a payer policy says a document must accompany it, and after adjudication, when an additional documentation request (ADR) arrives as a denial. Both are handled manually in most shops - someone pulls the record, someone attaches it, someone resubmits. This line automates the Epic side of both: proactive attachments generated and transmitted with the claim, and reactive attachments generated from the ADR without a person retrieving the document.

The two are separate services. Most organizations need both; some already have one.

RPA boundary Everything here works without RPA. Where a payer only accepts records through a portal, the base assumption is that a person performs that upload. If you'd rather automate that last step, we bring in an RPA partner - it's an option, not a dependency, and it's never inside the warranty.

How the engagement runs

Scoping confirms coverage before the fee is firm.

Discovery confirms payer and document-type coverage, clearinghouse attachment support, and how ADR denials are worked today. The pathology accession case is a known gap in Epic's document model and is stated as excluded in scoping when it applies.

Each fee covers one billing system, one service area, one operational owner. Every line is a separate service; the second service in a contract is 15% off, the third and beyond 20%.

Modifiers

  • Two or more services in one contract: 15% off the second, 20% off the third and each additional, applied to the lower-priced services
  • Each additional service area, same operational owner: +15%
  • Each additional operational owner: +30%
  • Payers beyond five, where payer count drives build: flat per-payer add

Assumptions

  • One billing system, one service area, one operational owner per fee
  • One client analyst participates 1-2 hours per week for knowledge transfer; client resources do not perform build or testing
  • Production and a recent-clone environment available for the duration
  • Current configuration, test accounts, representative files, and SME access provided within 10 business days of start
  • Any clearing-vendor engagement required by scope is complete before start
  • Clearinghouse supports 275/PWK attachment transmission
  • Payer portal uploads are performed by client staff unless the RPA option is contracted

Warranty

One-year warranty on all in-scope deliverables, covering configuration degradation from Epic upgrades or defects within the original scope. Full build documentation, plain-English user guides, and recorded training delivered at go-live.
