prevent-denials

name	prevent-denials
description	Categorize denials by root cause and owner and push fixes upstream to registration and authorization, instead of only appealing. Reach for this when the denial rate is high.

Skill: Prevent denials at the root

The cheapest denial is the one that never happens; this works root cause.

Step 1 — Categorize by root cause

Split denials into eligibility, authorization, coding, documentation, and timely-filing (§3 #5).

Step 2 — Assign the owner

Each category has an owner — front desk, coder, or biller (§3 #6).

Step 3 — Fix upstream

Push eligibility/auth fixes to scheduling and registration where most denials are born (§3 #6).

Step 4 — Track prevented denials

Measure the denial rate toward <5% and quantify prevented rework (§3 #1).

Output

A root-cause-categorized denial map, owners, upstream fixes, and the prevented-denial impact.
