The problem.RCM teams know 1–3% of net revenue walks out the door as underpayments — and most of it’s recovered, if at all, in month-end batches, six weeks after the appeal window has already closed.
PactRecon reconciles every 835 remit line by line against the fee schedules, carve-outs and MFN clauses already sitting in your payer contracts — and flags every variance within 24 hours of posting.
Citations attached to every row
How it works
Your RCM team stops searching for variances — the worklist arrives with the contract clause attached and the appeal already drafted.
Every payer contract — fee schedules, carve-outs, modifier rules, site-of-service clauses, MFN floors — is parsed into a clause graph keyed by CPT, POS, modifier and effective date.
Each remittance line is matched to its expected rate from the contract graph. Every delta — even $4 — lands on the worklist with the source paragraph attached.
Auto-drafted appeals cite the exact clause, attach the clinical documentation you already filed, and push through your payer portal or paper workflow.
What we reconcile
The same paragraphs RCM teams already know exist, now enforced on every remit. If it’s in your contract, the engine knows.
Sample worklist
CPT 73721 — contracted $412.80 · paid $381.20
− $31.60
Pinnacle PPO rate floor $489.10 not applied · paid $461.00
− $28.10
POS 22 site-of-service differential omitted on 99214
− $54.40
Every variance ships with the clause citation, the expected rate, the supporting clinical documentation, and a pre-drafted appeal — your team’s only job is the judgment call.
The 24-hour clock
Most teams drive underpayment recovery on end-of-month batches — six weeks after the remit posted. We don’t. Remits reconcile as they arrive, so the appeal clock starts the same hour.
