The filing flow

1

Start an appeal

From a denial’s detail view, click Start appeal. The strategy recommendation is pre-selected; you can change it.
2

Review the draft

Within ~60 seconds, the AI drafts the appeal letter with pulled medical records, policy citations, and clinical rationale. You see a side-by-side view with the original denial.
3

Edit if needed

Rich-text editor for the letter body. Any edits you make are tracked and fed back into learning — this is how the drafting gets tuned to your practice’s voice.
4

Attach supporting docs

Upload or pull in operative reports, chart notes, medical necessity letters, and any payer-specific forms. PHI-encrypted, audit-logged.
5

Sign

Route to DocuSeal. The provider signs electronically. Or, if your practice permits, a staff member signs on behalf of the provider with a stored delegation.
6

Submit

Choose the payer’s preferred channel — portal upload, fax (via a HIPAA-compliant fax provider), or certified mail (with automatic tracking number capture). Submission receipt stored with the appeal.

What goes into the draft

Pulled from the denial letter — always cited with the exact source language and date the denial was received.
Built from the patient’s chart notes, diagnoses, and procedure history. The AI pulls only the relevant records — we don’t dump the chart.
Plan-specific language when we have it, plus state and federal citations (ERISA, ACA, state insurance codes).
For medical necessity appeals, we pull 2–3 peer-reviewed sources supporting the clinical rationale.
Over time, drafts are tuned to match your practice’s tone based on your past edits.

Signing

DocuSeal e-signature

Provider receives an email, reviews the letter, signs. Signature is audit-logged and embedded in the PDF with a tamper-evident hash.

Delegated signing

Practice admins can grant specific staff the authority to sign on behalf of a provider. Every delegated signature is audit-logged with the delegator, delegate, and time-scope.

After submission

1

Receipt captured

Confirmation number, portal timestamp, fax transmit receipt, or mail tracking number — whatever the channel provides.
2

Deadline tracker

The payer’s response window is computed and displayed. You’ll get reminders at the 14-, 7-, and 1-day marks.
3

Follow-up

If we don’t hear back by deadline, the denial is auto-surfaced for follow-up action.
4

Outcome capture

When you mark the outcome (approved / partially approved / denied), we feed the result back into the strategy model and your practice’s reporting.

Quality gates

  • No appeal can be submitted without a generated PDF.
  • No appeal can be submitted without a valid signature (provider or delegated).
  • Appeals for denials with a deadline < 24 hours require a second confirmation.
  • Audit log records every draft edit, signature, and submission.

Limitations

Every appeal requires explicit human approval and signature. We are not — by design — an autonomous claims bot.
The strategy recommendation includes an overturn probability, but outcomes depend on the specifics of each case and payer. You stay in charge of what to file.
For medical necessity appeals, the provider must review the clinical rationale before signing.
