Never Miss a Deadline Again. File Claims With Confidence.
The Filing Shield™ equips your team with payer-specific deadline tools, appeal templates, and SOPs—so you stay compliant and denial-free, no matter how complex your payer mix.
The Reality for Most Practices
Claim denials due to timely filing are preventable—but common:
- Payers each have different (and constantly changing) deadlines
- Front-line teams rely on memory or outdated PDFs
- Appeals fail because of missed timelines
- Practices lose revenue for claims that were otherwise valid
- SOPs for timely filing are often missing or inconsistent
Without a central filing toolkit, even well-trained teams fall behind.
When to Choose Filing Shield™
✅ You’ve been hit with denials for missing timely filing deadlines
✅ You need a live, sortable calendar to manage payer timelines

✅ You’re preparing for an audit and want strong SOP documentation
The Cost of Not Acting
⚠ Denials with no appeal rights due to late filing
⚠ Manual tracking errors and deadline confusion
⚠ Lost revenue from otherwise valid claims
⚠ Audit exposure due to missing filing procedures
