The QA Review Functionality is a mechanism by which paid services can be recouped. Here are the following stages involved in the QA review process:
Stages | Definition |
---|---|
Stage 1: Reviewable | All paid services (encounters and claims) that can be flagged for recoupment. |
Stage 2: Flagged | All paid services that have been flagged for recoupment by either the Lead Agency or the Vendor. |
Stage 2a: Flagged by File | Services flagged for recoupment through a file of records identified by Lead Agency Analysis. |
Stage 3: Confirmed for Recoupment | All paid services that have been flagged for recoupment and agreed to be recouped by both Parties or identified for recoupment in the first place by the Vendor. |
Stage 4: Repayment Process | Once services have been identified for recoupment, it is necessary for Falling Colors to get the funding back from the Vendor. This can be done through the reduction of payment against a future invoice or by the Vendor sending a check. Both can be done in increments. |
Stage 4a: |
Confirmed for Refund | Services that have been repaid by the Vendor and identified as needing to be refunded to the Vendor. |

Lead Agency must contact and inform the Vendor in order to start the clock for recoupment.
Lead Agency is required to enter when and who they contacted for records to be available for a Vendor to review.
Vendors can choose to accept the recoupment, in which case they agree to make repayment via future payment offsets or by sending Falling Colors a check. (Stage 4)
Vendors can petition records flagged for recoupment and attach supporting documentation to accommodate the petition.
After a petition is made, the Lead Agency can request clarification on the petition.
Lead Agency may or may not require the Vendor to include supporting documentation as part of clarification.
Vendors and Lead Agencies can go back-and-forth between 'Clarification Required' and 'Clarification Provided' as many times as necessary.
Note: Lead Agency can also choose at any time to 'force' a recoupment or accept the petition.
Actions completed by either side during the negotiation result in a deadline being set for the other side to respond.
