High-dollar inpatient claims can contain complex billing, coding, and documentation issues that are difficult to detect through standard claim review alone. Cotiviti’s Itemized Bill Review brings detailed billing validation into the Clinical Chart Validation workflow, helping health plans review DRG and non-DRG inpatient claims with an IBR; through one data feed, one implementation, and across multiple intervention points.
