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  • Front-line teams rely on memory or outdated PDFs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 want to automate and simplify appeal filing
✅ 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
