Where revenue leaks

Most denials start in the chart, weeks before the claim.

A note that does not support the time billed. A plan that changed and nobody noticed. An authorization out of units. Athon finds these while the note is still open and the claim is still a draft.

Before the note is signed

Time, units and code checked against what the note says. Diagnosis and level of care checked against the assessment and plan.

Before the claim goes out

Coverage, credential, authorization and payer rules checked on every claim. Signed visits with no claim found. Claims with no signed note stopped.

After the payer answers

Denials, takebacks and underpayments grouped by cause and traced to the note or rule behind them. Fix it once. See that it holds.

What it does

Every visit billed. Every claim right the first time.

Claim readiness

Clean claims, the first time.

Athon checks every claim against the note, the coverage and the payer's rules before it goes out. Your biller clicks send.

  • Note signed
  • Credential covers the service
  • Diagnosis supports the service

Fewer denials. Faster payment.

Unbilled and mis-billed services

Visits you delivered but never billed

Signed visits that never became a claim. Claims sent to a plan the patient left. Payers billed in the wrong order and the money taken back. Filing deadlines by date. Each with the amount and the next step.

Delivered, documented, and paid.

Authorizations and level of care

No authorized day lost. The chart supports the level of care.

Units and end dates tracked for every patient, with your renewal target. Initial and continued-stay requests drafted from the assessment, plan and notes. Where the record does not yet support the level of care, you see it before the payer does.

Up to 2.5× more approvals.

Denials by cause

Fix the cause, not the claim

Denials grouped by cause, payer, program and clinician, and traced to the note or rule behind each one. Fix it upstream, in the note or the workflow. See whether the fix is holding month over month.

Fewer denials every month, and you can see why.

Why Athon

Fix it in the chart, not in the denial.

Reads the whole chart

Not just the claim line. The note, the plan, the assessment, the authorization and the eligibility response, for every service.

One note, both jobs

The same review that keeps clinical quality high makes the note support the code, the time and the level of care.

What it is worth

What it is worth to your center

Money you earned, collected. Denials that never happen.

5–15%

Fewer claim denials

Every

Signed visit matched to a claim

Up to 2.5×

More authorization approvals

Example. A center with 40,000 visits a year and a 10% denial rate: 5 to 15% fewer denials is 200 to 600 claims a year paid the first time. If 1% of visits never get billed, that is 400 visits found.
