Where athena’s report differs, and why
- Denial rate, Statewide Care Program. athena’s Denial Management report counts a claim again when its corrected resubmission is denied too. Our definition counts only the payer’s first decision on a claim. The report’s claim list shows 3 such resubmission denials for this payer this month, each adding one denial and one decided claim. Take them out and athena’s figure is ours exactly.
- Visit volume, practice total. 2 visits at one site on the last clinic day of the month were checked in but never checked out: athena’s practice total counts them and ours does not. Every other visit matches.
- Visit volume, Dana Whitlock, NP. athena’s Appointments report counts 2 of this provider’s appointments on the last clinic day of the month as completed. Both were checked in but never checked out, so no charges were entered. Our definition counts a visit only once it is checked out or has charges, so they stay out until the front desk closes them. Both are on the report’s detail list.
