How it works

Every remittance, read against the claim.

A claim says what your practice asked to be paid. A remittance says what the payer decided. Liquidity Health links the two, explains the difference, and organizes the follow-up.

Step by step

From what the payer sent to what came back.

Three real cases, with names removed, show what Liquidity Health finds and what your team does with it.

  1. What do we send?

    Step 1: Your claims and your remittances.

    Upload 837 claim batches and 835s, ERAs or EOBs through separate lanes. Liquidity Health extracts the data in the background, and nothing is saved to a claim until it has been reviewed. A remittance received twice is not counted twice.

  2. What does LH find?

    Step 2: What was billed, allowed, owed and paid.

    Every payment is matched to your own claim number, with the payer's claim ID kept beside it. The difference between what the payer owed and what it paid becomes visible. For Claim C, the remittance alone shows $611.00 due from the payer and $199.00 paid.

    Allowed $611.00 − patient responsibility $0.00 = $611.00 owed by the payer, but $199.00 was paid.

  3. What happens to a denial?

    Step 3: Understand the payer's reason. See what to check next.

    Liquidity Health reads the reason and remark codes, explains them in plain English and suggests a next step for your team to confirm. For Claim A, the remark code N211 rules out an appeal, so the suggestion is a corrected claim instead.

    Denial reason

    N382Remittance Advice Remark (RARC)

    Missing/incomplete/invalid patient identifier

    Something on the claim is missing, invalid, or internally inconsistent, so it could not be adjudicated as submitted.

    N211 explains the denial above

    Alert: You may not appeal this decision

    N211: this decision may not be appealed. Correct and resubmit instead.

    Recommended action

    Read the accompanying remark code - it names the exact field. Correct that element and submit a corrected claim rather than an appeal.

    In practice: The remark code (N or M) tells you what is wrong. Fix it and resubmit as a corrected claim, not an appeal.

    Responsibility: Provider. Appeal: No - correct and resubmit.

  4. Who does the work?

    Step 4: Your team acts. The stage follows.

    Your billers record what they did, and the claim moves through New denial, Working / On hold, Resubmitted or Appealed - Payer pending, and Resolved, with its filing window in view.

  5. What about payments that are too low?

    Step 5: Compare the payer's allowance with your contract.

    Underpayments follow their own track. When a claim matches a loaded contract, Liquidity Health compares each line with the contracted rate. For Claim B, Payer B allowed $96.55 where the contract allows $144.83.

    On what it did allow, the payer paid $91.55 and assigned $5.00 to the patient. At that same split, about $45.78 of the gap is owed by the payer and about $2.50 would be added to patient responsibility. A deductible or flat copay changes this split.

  6. How do we know it worked?

    Step 6: Track what came back, and what still needs work.

    The claim journey keeps every submission and payer response on the same claim. Claim A came back as $121.39, 16 days after the denial. Money counts as recovered only when the payer actually pays.
