Key Terms and Definitions
Provider Responsibilities and Claims Handling
Post-payment reviews — submit documentation when requested
Quartz conducts post-payment reviews and audits to ensure policy compliance. Providers must submit supporting documentation if requested as part of those claim review processes. Misuse of codes, modifiers, or exceeding service limits may lead to provider education, recoupment, or other corrective action.
- Submit requested clinical and billing documentation promptly to support submitted G2211 and companion E/M claims.
- Failure to provide documentation upon audit may result in corrective action, including recoupment or provider education.
Claim adjudication consequences for noncompliance
If coding, billing, or current reimbursement policies are not followed, Quartz may reject or deny the claim, adjust reimbursement, and recover or recoup payments. Quartz uses claim editing software and may take these actions when submissions do not meet policy or billing guidelines.
- Claims may be rejected or denied during initial adjudication for improper coding or submission.
- Payments may be adjusted or recovered (recouped) following review or audit if guidelines are not met.
OpenPayer is powered by Trek Health's payer performance platform. Trek continuously ingests, validates, and normalizes Transparency in Coverage data alongside payer policies and other commercial payer data to create a structured payer intelligence foundation. OpenPayer uses this foundation to deliver personalized search results, dynamically generated policy pages, and tailored policy monitoring based on each user's payers, specialties, billing codes, and areas of interest. The same intelligence powers broader payer performance workflows, including reimbursement benchmarking, contract evaluation, payer negotiations, and financial decision-making.
