Sessions At Risk

Sessions At Risk identifies sessions in your billing pipeline that are likely to be denied or are potentially unbillable. Instead of discovering these issues after a claim is rejected, CareIncite flags them proactively so your team can resolve the issue before submission — or before delivering additional sessions that will also be denied.

What makes a session “at risk”

CareIncite evaluates each session against multiple risk factors. A session is flagged as at risk when any of the following conditions are detected:

Lapsed eligibility

The client's insurance coverage was not active on the date of service. This is the most common risk factor and is caught by cross-referencing session dates against the client's eligibility status from the Eligibility Watchdog.

Authorization exceeded

The session would exceed the client's authorized number of units or the authorization has expired. CareIncite tracks authorization limits and expiration dates per client and flags sessions that fall outside the authorized window.

Missing or incomplete documentation

The session record is missing required fields that payers require for reimbursement — such as diagnosis code, service code, or provider NPI. These are caught during data import validation.

Duplicate session

A session with the same client, provider, date, and service code already exists. Duplicate claims are automatically denied by payers and can trigger audit flags.

MCO mismatch

The client's current MCO assignment does not match the payer on the session record. This can happen when a client switches MCOs mid-month and sessions are still being billed to the previous payer.

How to review at-risk sessions

At-risk sessions are surfaced in the Eligibility → At Risk tab and on the Weekly Billing dashboard. Each flagged session displays the client name, session date, provider, risk reason, and the estimated revenue at risk.

Your team can take action on each session: resolve the underlying issue (re-verify eligibility, obtain a new authorization, complete missing documentation), mark it as reviewed if no action is needed, or flag it for write-off if the revenue is unrecoverable.

Relationship to Weekly Billing

The Weekly Billing dashboard (/billing) shows total billed hours and revenue for each week. Sessions flagged as at-risk are highlighted within the billing view so you can see the potential revenue impact alongside your performance data. This integration ensures that billing performance numbers account for sessions that may not ultimately be reimbursed.

Who can access Sessions At Risk

Sessions At Risk data is visible to users with the ceo, admin, or support_staff account roles (via the Eligibility module) and to specialist roles (via the Weekly Billing dashboard, read-only). Providers do not see session-level risk flags.

Why this matters

Every at-risk session that goes unresolved before billing represents revenue that will be denied. Sessions At Risk shifts your billing workflow from reactive (deal with denials after the fact) to proactive (prevent denials before they happen). The earlier you catch a problem, the more likely you are to recover the revenue.
