Overpayments Made to Healthcare Providers: How to Avoid Recoupments and Protect Your Practice

Overpayments made to healthcare providers can become a costly problem, leading to revenue loss and insurance clawbacks. Insurance companies actively conduct audits to identify these overpayments, and providers must be prepared. We specialize in preventing overpayments from ever occurring, protecting your bottom line, and preserving payer relationships.

Understanding Overpayments Made to Healthcare Providers

Overpayments made to healthcare providers typically stem from common issues that are often overlooked during billing and payment posting processes. Insurance audits frequently target:

  • Duplicate payments from multiple payors

  • Retroactive rate adjustments or policy updates

  • Double billing or system errors

  • Inaccurate payment postings

  • Charges written off beyond billed amounts

  • Debit contractual adjustments

  • Improper charge reclassification

  • Coordination of benefits issues

  • Payments outside payer guidelines

  • Misapplied credit balances

Insurers may initiate recoupment actions once an overpayment is identified, demanding a refund or withholding future payments. Avoiding these issues is not only possible—it’s our specialty.
