Payer Contract Management
Centralize payer information with fee schedule management, timely filing rules, and contract terms. Compare actual reimbursements against contracted rates to identify underpayments.
Works with
- Claims Submission & TrackingSubmit, track, and manage insurance claims with real-time status updates and automated scrubbing.
- Payment PostingPost insurance and patient payments with full audit trail and automated reconciliation.
- AR Management & AgingTrack accounts receivable with aging reports, follow-up queues, and priority scoring.
Every payer is its own small rulebook: a fee schedule, a timely-filing limit, an appeal window, a list of procedures that need authorisation, and a set of claim edits that differ from the next payer’s. When that rulebook lives in a biller’s head, it leaves when the biller does. Payer Contract Management puts it in the platform, where the scrubber, the posting engine, and the A/R queues can all read it.
Fee schedules are loaded per payer and per contract period, so an ERA payment can be compared with the contracted allowable for that procedure on that date. A payment under the contracted rate is flagged as an underpayment with the difference, which turns a vague sense that a payer pays short into a list of claims and dollars to pursue.
Timely-filing and appeal limits are stored per payer and drive the deadlines on every claim. Enrollment status is tracked per provider and payer, so a claim for a provider who is not yet effective with that payer is flagged before submission rather than denied after it.

Payer directory
What payer management does
Payer directory
Payer IDs, addresses, portals, phone numbers, and clearinghouse routing in one record per payer, shared across every practice on the platform.
Fee schedules by contract period
Contracted allowables per procedure and modifier, dated, so the right schedule applies to each date of service.
Underpayment detection
Each posted payment is compared with the contracted rate. Shortfalls are flagged with the difference and queued for follow-up.
Timely-filing and appeal rules
Filing and appeal windows per payer drive the deadline clocks on claims and the ordering of A/R queues.
Enrollment status per provider
Which providers are effective with which payers, and from what date, so a claim for a provider who is not yet enrolled is flagged rather than denied.
Payer-specific claim edits
Required modifiers, authorisation flags, and format quirks per payer feed the claim scrubber directly.
How It Works
Load
Payer details, contract terms, and fee schedules are entered or imported once per payer and dated.
Apply
The scrubber, posting engine, and A/R queues read the payer record automatically. No biller has to remember a rule.
Compare
Payments are checked against the contracted allowable as they post, and shortfalls are flagged.
Renegotiate
Payer performance and underpayment totals by payer give the practice the numbers it needs when a contract comes up for renewal.
