The challenge
Heart Rhythm Specialists came to MedHeave with a revenue cycle that varied by payer and had no one tracking the exceptions.
Claims were being rejected or held for corrections before they could be submitted. Payer enrollment and revalidation requirements were going unmanaged, and they directly affected whether claims processed. Coding and payment problems were being handled one claim at a time, with no way to tell whether the cause was billing, payer processing, credentialing, or reimbursement methodology.
The practice needed a team that would find the cause of each issue and fix it at its source, instead of resubmitting the claim and hoping for a different result.

What we did
Established structured claim and payer review
After onboarding in March 2026, we began checking each claim against payer submission requirements, monitoring payer responses, and following open issues through to resolution. Where a problem needed credentialing or enrollment work, we coordinated it directly.
Investigated issues at the payer level
For every problem claim or payment, we determined whether it came from claim submission, payer processing, credentialing, reimbursement methodology, or insurance requirements. We then took it to whoever could fix it, whether that meant correcting the claim, escalating to the payer, or resolving the credentialing or enrollment issue.
Strengthened enrollment and revalidation oversight
Enrollment and revalidation requirements became part of the ongoing RCM workflow instead of a separate task. This gave the practice visibility into requirements that can affect claim processing and reimbursement.
Built a proactive payment review process
We monitor claims, payer responses, and payments continuously rather than waiting for discrepancies to surface. When reimbursement differs from expectations, we review the claim and the applicable payer rules before any adjustment or write-off is considered.
Established clear communication with the practice
When we need clarification or provider action, we contact the practice directly so the next step is clear. This keeps claim issues, payer requirements, and reimbursement discrepancies transparent.
