Which referral packet gaps can become denials, and what staff verify.

A denial often starts as a question nobody answered at referral: an authorization that may be missing, initial days that are unclear, a network status nobody confirmed. AdmitScore™ lists those questions for staff to verify before the facility commits a bed. It cannot predict what a payer will do and does not guarantee approval, payment, or denial prevention.

Packet gaps in three areas, and the check for each

Referral packet gaps that can become denials and what staff verify for each

Payer and authorization
Possible missing authorization, unclear initial days, network uncertainty, or other payer details. 		Check these with the payer before accepting.
Skilled need and documentation
Therapy, nursing, wound, medication, or functional details that may need stronger support, or missing therapy documentation. 		Confirm the support in the source documents before acceptance.
Medication
High-cost drugs, carve-outs, specialty pharmacy, stop dates, or responsibility questions. 		Escalate to the appropriate reviewer.
