Underpayment Recovery Services Identify Payment Gaps & Recover Revenue
Healthcare organisations may receive less reimbursement than expected because of contractual discrepancies, incorrect payment calculations, processing errors, or missed adjustments. BillSot provides structured underpayment recovery support to help identify potential payment gaps, investigate discrepancies, and coordinate appropriate follow-up.
Our approach helps healthcare organisations review reimbursement, identify potential underpayments, and improve visibility into revenue that may remain unrecovered.
Find Payment Gaps. Understand Why Revenue Falls Short.
Receiving a payment does not always mean a claim has been reimbursed correctly. Differences between expected reimbursement and actual payments can occur because of contractual terms, incorrect adjustments, processing errors, or payer-specific requirements.
BillSot helps healthcare organisations review payment information, identify potential underpayments, and investigate discrepancies that may require additional action.
Our approach focuses on:
Payment Review
Compare available payment information with the original claim and remittance details.
Contractual Validation
Review applicable reimbursement terms to identify potential payment discrepancies.
Underpayment Identification
Flag accounts where received reimbursement may be lower than expected.
Root Cause Investigation
Investigate available claim, adjustment, and remittance information to understand payment gaps.
Payer Follow-Up
Coordinate appropriate inquiries and recovery actions for identified discrepancies.
Recovery Performance Reporting
Track identified underpayments, outstanding actions, and recovery outcomes.

Remittance Analysis
Examine available ERA and EOB information to understand payments, adjustments, and reasons for payment differences.

A Structured Process From Payment Review to Recovery
Underpayment recovery becomes more effective when payments are reviewed systematically and every identified discrepancy is tracked through resolution.
01. Identify
Review paid claims and payment records to identify potential reimbursement gaps.
02. Validate
Compare actual payments with available contractual terms and expected reimbursement.
03. Investigate
Examine remittance details, claim history, adjustments, and supporting documentation.
04. Take Action
Prepare appropriate inquiries, corrections, reconsiderations, or recovery requests based on the findings.
05. Track
Monitor payer responses, outstanding recovery actions, and payment adjustments.
06. Report
Provide clear reporting on identified discrepancies, recovery progress, and payment outcomes.
Understand Where Your Reimbursement Is Falling Short
Payment discrepancies can remain unnoticed when healthcare organisations rely only on the amount received rather than comparing payments against expected reimbursement.
Without a structured review process, potential underpayments may remain unresolved and contribute to lost revenue.
Common issues may include:
Payments below expected reimbursement
Incorrect contractual adjustments
Missing or inaccurate payment adjustments
Payer processing discrepancies
Incorrect fee schedule application
Partial or incomplete payments
Unexplained payment variances
Incorrect claim payment calculations
Unresolved reimbursement inquiries
Limited payment variance reporting
Identifying these issues helps healthcare organisations investigate potential underpayments and determine whether further recovery action is appropriate.
Paid Does Not Always Mean Paid Correctly
A claim may be processed and paid while still receiving less reimbursement than expected.
Payment differences can result from contractual calculations, adjustment errors, processing discrepancies, or other payer-specific issues that require further investigation.
BillSot helps healthcare organisations review payment information, identify potential reimbursement gaps, and track appropriate recovery actions.
Turn Payment Discrepancies Into Recovery Opportunities
Not every payment difference represents a recoverable underpayment. Each discrepancy requires review against applicable reimbursement terms, claim details, and available payment information.
Examine the paid claim, remittance details, and recorded adjustments.
Compare actual payment amounts against available contractual terms and applicable fee schedules.
Determine whether the difference may relate to contractual adjustments, processing errors, or other payment factors.
Gather supporting claim, remittance, and contractual information for further assessment.
Coordinate appropriate inquiries or recovery requests for validated discrepancies.
Monitor payer responses, additional payments, adjustments, and unresolved recovery actions.
Move From Underpayment Recovery to Payment Accuracy
Recovering underpayments is important, but understanding why payment discrepancies occur can help healthcare organisations improve future reimbursement accuracy.
Recurring payment variances, incorrect adjustments, and inconsistent contract application may indicate issues that need further attention.
Earlier Variance Identification
Review payment discrepancies before they remain unresolved for extended periods.
Better Contractual Oversight
Use available reimbursement terms to support more consistent payment validation.
Accurate Adjustment Review
Identify adjustments that may require clarification or further investigation.
Consistent Recovery Follow-Up
Maintain a structured process for validated underpayments and outstanding payer responses.
Improved Payment Monitoring
Track payment differences and recurring reimbursement issues.
Stronger Revenue Cycle Coordination
Share findings with billing, payment posting, A/R, and revenue cycle teams to support process improvements.
See the Bigger Picture Behind Your Payment Gaps
Effective underpayment recovery requires more than identifying a difference between two amounts. Healthcare organisations need to understand the source of each variance, the action required, and whether further recovery is justified.
BillSot helps organise payment review activities to provide a clearer view of reimbursement accuracy.
Payment Variances
Identify claims where actual payments differ from expected reimbursement.
Contractual Review
Understand how available reimbursement terms affect payment expectations.
Adjustment Analysis
Review recorded adjustments and identify discrepancies requiring attention.
Payer Follow-Up
Monitor inquiries and outstanding recovery requests.
Recovery Progress
Track validated underpayments and additional payments received.
Performance Reporting
Review payment variance trends and opportunities to improve reimbursement accuracy.
