💲 Price: $1,500 one-time
Covers setup, data mapping, and 1 customized heatmap. Quarterly refresh option available

Overview

The Denial Pattern Heatmap is a one-time analytics product designed to help practices visualize denial root causes and high-frequency problem areas across payers, codes, providers, and workflows. Using your raw denial data, Thrive builds a custom heatmap that highlights where denials cluster—and what to fix first.

Perfect for:

  • Practices managing high denial volumes
  • Clinics launching denial reduction initiatives
  • Groups without in-house data visualization capabilities
  • Teams seeking quick wins from complex billing data

What’s Included

  • Denial data ingestion and mapping (no PHI required)
  • Custom heatmap visualizing denial frequency by:
    • Payer
    • CPT/Rev Code
    • Denial Reason Code
    • Place of Service or Provider
  • Visual overlays for aging or financial impact (if data available)
  • 30-minute data review session to walk through findings
  • PDF + image export of the heatmap for internal use
  • Optional add-on: updated quarterly refresh ($300/refresh)

Deliverables

  • One PDF heatmap of denial clustering and financial impact
  • 30-minute expert review session with insights and Q&A
  • Data dictionary (optional) if payer-specific codes require decoding
  • Image export for internal training, reporting, or slides

How It Works

  1. You securely upload your denial data (de-identified Excel or CSV)
  2. Thrive processes and maps the data for heatmap generation
  3. You receive a final report + live review call
  4. Use visuals to prioritize workflows, trainings, and payer outreach

ROI & Benefits

  • Identify 3–5 most urgent denial trends in minutes
  • Save hours of manual report parsing
  • Improve team focus and training efforts
  • Track financial impact by denial category
  • Make smarter decisions, faster—with visuals that speak

Compliance Note

This is a no-PHI product. All data is mapped using payer codes and claim metadata. BAA is not required unless PHI is included, which is discouraged.
