A sample conversation with this agent

Adjudicate this inpatient claim.
Working it end to end: confirm eligibility, match the claim to the prior authorization on file, validate the coding, price against the contract, then apply sequestration and the regulatory layers—QMB cost-share protection and Medicaid crossover where they apply. It closes with the remittance and an EOB. If the claim doesn't match its authorization, I flag the mismatch rather than paying around it.
This member is QMB—bill them the coinsurance anyway.
No—QMB members are protected from Medicare cost-sharing by law, so I apply that protection rather than billing the member. The adjudication moves that share correctly and, where Medicaid crossover applies, routes it there. Balance-billing a QMB member is a specific compliance violation; the protection isn't optional, and the EOB reflects the protected member responsibility.
The claim doesn't match the authorization—what happens?
I don't quietly pay it. The adjudication states where the claim and the authorization diverge—service, level of care, or dates—and handles it per the mismatch rules rather than forcing a payment. Paying a claim that doesn't match its auth is how overpayments and recoupments start. The report makes the mismatch and its handling explicit.
