3. State-Specific Fact Block
Dedicated Denial Management Services in New Jersey: HCAPPA Deadlines and Binding Arbitration
The Health Claims Authorization, Processing and Payment Act (HCAPPA, P.L. 2005, c. 352) requires carriers to pay clean claims within 30 calendar days if filed electronically and 40 days on paper. A carrier that doesn't pay must deny or dispute the claim in writing within those same windows and list every reason. Calling a claim "pending" doesn't excuse that duty, and late payments carry 10% simple interest under N.J.A.C. 11:22.
HCAPPA also limits clawbacks. Carriers can seek repayment of overpaid claims only within 18 months of the first payment, and providers have the same 18 months to pursue underpayments. When an internal appeal fails, providers can take disputes of $1,000 or more, alone or aggregated, to the Program for Independent Claims Payment Arbitration (PICPA), where decisions are binding and nonappealable.

What Makes Our New Jersey
Denial Management Services Different
Our New Jersey process is built around documentation.
Arbitration-Ready Appeals
Every internal appeal we file is built with the records, timelines, and payment history PICPA reviewers expect. If the carrier upholds its denial, the case is ready to move forward without starting over.
Small Claims Aggregated
Single denials under $1,000 can't reach arbitration alone. We group eligible disputed claims against the same carrier so smaller balances that practices usually write off can still be pursued.
18-Month Underpayment Window
Underpaid claims can be pursued for 18 months after the first payment. We compare every remittance against your contracted rates and file underpayment disputes well before that window closes.
Interest on Late Payments
New Jersey requires 10% simple interest on clean claims that carriers pay late. We match payment dates to claim receipt dates and request that interest whenever a carrier owes it.
Five Medicaid Plans Covered
Aetna Better Health of New Jersey, Fidelis Care, Horizon NJ Health, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and Wellpoint each run separate appeals. We file each one with the correct plan process and deadlines.
Monthly Reports With Arbitration Detail
Each month you see recovered revenue, denial rates by payer, appeals pending, and arbitration outcomes, so you know which carriers create the most work and where dollars are coming back.

9. Compliance
How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With New Jersey Denial Management Regulations?
No Surprises Act:
For covered out-of-network services, patients are billed no more than in-network cost-sharing, and disputes go through the federal process.
New Jersey timely filing law:
Under N.J.S.A. 45:1-10.1, professionals with assigned benefits must file within 180 days of the last date of service. We submit early and track HCAPPA's 30 and 40 day payment deadlines.
New Jersey billing transparency:
If a claim with assigned benefits is filed after 180 days and denied, N.J.S.A. 45:1-10.1 bars billing the patient. HCAPPA also requires carriers to list every reason for a denial, which we check on each notice.
Payer-specific guidelines:
We follow the rules of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, other commercial carriers, and the five NJ FamilyCare managed care plans.
