Denial Health Score Soft Appeals
Twelve questions
The weighting is published because a score you cannot check is a score you cannot use.
Each question is worth 0 to 4 points, multiplied by the weight below. Deadline tracking and submission evidence carry the heaviest weight because a missed window or a receipt dispute can close a claim outright, whichever way the underlying argument would have gone. Reporting carries less because thin reporting costs visibility rather than claims.
The twelve scored areas
Open any one to see the question and the five answers it scores.
Want us to apply this framework to 20 actual denied claims?
The free review takes 20 of your recent denied claims through the same thinking, at claim level: what happened, what action each one warrants, what is missing, who owns the next step and what needs attention first. You receive the assessment whether or not you continue. The score above is open to anyone. The review is for Maryland practices.
