Determine Claim Responsibility

Cotiviti's COB Validation solution delivers accuracy across the member journey. With both prospective and retrospective claim review, we see each member within their own context, and can offer validation at any point in the benefits coordination process.

We thoroughly review and analyze contracts, eligibility files, third-party benefits agreements, and other data sources to determine COB and payment responsibility. Our 20+ years of expertise in this specific area allows us to identify complex COB issues beyond any payment integrity vendors and programs that our clients may have in place. From this identification process, we build a store of comprehensive eligibility data and analytics that identify other commercial payer responsibilities. With both prospective and retrospective claim review, we see each member within their own context, and can offer validation at any point in the benefits coordination process.

With this solution, our clients benefit from:
