Timely Filing in Medical Billing
Timely filing refers to the requirement that medical claims be submitted to insurance companies within a specific time frame after services are provided.
Timely Filing in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, each insurance company has a set deadline for filing claims. Missing the timely filing limit can result in claim denials, meaning the provider may not get paid for the services rendered. Timely filing is crucial for maintaining cash flow.
For example, a provider must submit claims within 90 days of service to meet the insurance company’s timely filing limit.
