Remittance checked against claim and contracted rate before posting
The question this file answersWhich of our payers are quietly paying below contract — and would we know before the year-end review?
Fits: providers where every encounter generates coding and billing work.
Typical day
What the desk looks like today
Typical pattern, not a measured office — the healthcare playbook publishes no volume for remittance matching, and we supply none. A remit arrives; someone compares it with the claim and a rate sheet kept in a drawer or a spreadsheet. Underpayments surface in arrears, if a payer audit happens at all.
What changes
What Monday looks like after
At the weekly payer review, the billing lead looks at a short list of payer-and-code pairs paying below contract, each with the evidence attached, instead of a rate sheet and a hunch. Routine posting has already happened; the argument with the payer is still the lead's.
Typical, not a measured client result. Every figure here comes from the playbook source named below.

How this file is built
Remittance-to-contract matching has no published benchmark. The 35–55% coding range (AHIMA, McKinsey, 2023) describes claim coding and is left on the parent file. Not a cash guarantee.
What we install
What we put in front of the systems you already run
Nothing replaces your billing platform — Waystar, Change Healthcare, Availity, whichever it is. Our coding-and-denials build gains a third document, the contract:
- the remittance is read, line by line
- each line is compared with the claim as submitted and with the contracted rate for that payer and code
- lines within tolerance post as a draft, while rate variances and denial codes appear on one screen with the three documents together.
What stays human — and what this will not do
Contract interpretation. Appeals. Deciding which underpayment is worth the fight.
Not a cash guarantee.
What can go wrong — and what we do about it
Loading contracted rates per payer, per code and per effective date is the real work; until it is done the build can match claim to remit but not to contract. Payer remittance files vary, and paper remits are read less reliably. The parent file's coding range is about coding admin, not recovered cash — deciding whether a variance is a fight or a write-off stays with a person.
What it costs to get there
The path: free 60-second estimate → free 20-minute review → paid audit of this one process (€1.5–3K, typically two weeks) → pilot with your people in the loop (€10–20K, weeks, not quarters). No transformation programme. Prices are public, on the services page →
Scoped in the audit — the playbook has no estimate for this exact desk.
This is about you if…
- Are contracted rates held in a spreadsheet or a drawer rather than in the billing system?
- Does anyone compare each remittance with the contract, or only the total with the claim?
What does this mean in euros?
That depends on your volumes and wage costs — this page will not invent the number. The free 60-second estimate runs that calculation from your answers, with every multiplier sourced.
