Workers’ comp claims are not processed in the same manner as billings on a regular insurance policy. Payment is not governed by the normal rules of payers, but rather by rules in the employer’s insurer and the fee schedule, and a single missing authorization may cause a claim to be delayed for months with little warning. A Workers Compensation Billing service should know about those differences between states, and follow each claim through the conflict course of a Workers’ Compensation claim, instead of a medical claim. It’s that specialized attention that typically makes the difference between a claim that pays and a claim that languishes in limbo.
