Records needed for this question
Dated payer policy, claim details and payment explanation.
How to investigate
Confirm the relevant policy version with authorized reviewers before comparing expected and actual payment.
An illustrative review decision
Retain the dated policy evidence used for the service period under review. If the applicable version cannot be established, record that gap rather than assume that today's public guidance governs the earlier claim.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
A current policy may not govern an earlier service period.
The result to retain
A service-date evidence record; it does not state a universal reimbursement rule.
