Records needed for this question
Dated eligibility response, service date and denial explanation.
How to investigate
Identify what the response confirmed at that time and which later issue the payer raised.
An illustrative review decision
Keep the eligibility response as it was received, with its timestamp. Later coverage information may change the investigation, but should not silently replace the earlier evidence or imply that it confirmed more than it did.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
A general eligibility response may not establish coverage of a particular service.
The result to retain
A dated evidence timeline with the unresolved coverage question.
