3. State-Specific Fact Block
Denial Management Services in North Carolina for Healthcare Providers: 30-Day Decisions and 18% Interest
Under G.S. 58-3-225, an insurer has 30 calendar days after receiving a claim to pay it, deny it with specific reasons, or ask for more information. If part of a claim is disputed, the undisputed portion still has to be paid within 30 days. After the requested information arrives, the insurer has another 30 days to decide. Claims paid outside these rules carry interest at 18% per year.
The same statute protects the back end. Insurers can require claims within 180 days of service but can't set a shorter limit, and a claim still unresolved after 60 days triggers status reports every 30 days. Overpayment recoveries and offsets must happen within two years of the original payment, except in limited cases such as fraud.

What Makes Our North Carolina
Denial Management Services Different
North Carolina's prompt pay law puts real money behind every deadline, and our process tracks each one.
18% Interest Recovered
North Carolina charges 18% annual interest on claims not paid on time. We compare claim receipt and payment dates on every remittance and request the interest owed, which many practices never collect.
Undisputed Amounts Paid First
When an insurer contests only part of a claim, the law still requires the undisputed portion within 30 days. We spot held-back balances on partial denials and push for that payment.
Two-Year Offset Defense
Insurers must recover overpayments within two years of the original payment. We check every offset and refund demand against that limit and challenge the ones that fall outside it.
Standard Plan Coverage
AmeriHealth Caritas North Carolina, Carolina Complete Health, Healthy Blue, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and WellCare each run separate dispute processes. We file with the right plan using its own forms.
Monthly Reports With Interest Detail
Each month you see recovered revenue, interest collected, denial rate by payer, and open appeals, along with the specific intake or coding issues that drove that month's denials.
Specialty Billers on Every Appeal
Billers trained in your specialty's codes and payer policies write each appeal. They attach the clinical records and medical necessity support reviewers need, so appeals aren't returned as incomplete.

G.S. 58-3-225 requires insurers to state specific reasons for each denial and to send status reports on claims unresolved after 60 days. We hold payers to both.
