Claims & denials
Claim scrubbing
Automated pre-submission checking of claims against payer edits, code pairs and required fields.
What it means in dermatology
Generic scrubbers catch format and basic NCCI issues. Dermatology-specific rules — stage sequencing, lesion counts against LCD frequency limits, repair classification against documented size — usually have to be added as custom edits.
A scrubber that catches a problem after submission is a reporting tool, not a control.
Why it matters to your revenue
Every edit added to the scrub is a denial category that stops recurring.
