Real-Time Scrubber for CMS 1500

The Real-Time Scrubber for CMS 1500 helps healthcare providers reduce rework time and costs by identifying and fixing common denial triggers before submitting claims. It goes beyond CCI edits and combines CCI with a thorough review based on the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, CPT® concepts, LCDs, NCDs, and more. The scrubber checks data against more than 50 areas, alerts for top denial-causers like code combination errors and modifier misuse and provides clear explanations of how to fix claims without confusing jargon. It is a trusted system developed by experts at AAPC.
