Specialty bill review plays a critical role in managing high-cost, complex medical claims within workers’ compensation and other casualty programs. Unlike standard bill review, which focuses on coding accuracy and fee schedule application, specialty bill review takes a deeper, clinical-first approach. It is designed to evaluate bills for services such as surgeries, implantable devices, out-of-network care, and hospitalizations—areas prone to inflated charges and billing discrepancies. By integrating clinical expertise and data analytics, specialty bill review helps ensure that every charge is appropriate, medically necessary, and compliant with applicable guidelines.
