How much are short-pays
actually costing you?
Enter a few recent bills — what you billed and what the check paid. The calculator shows each gap, your short-pay rate, and the annualized cost of letting them slide.
Your recent bills
Estimates only — based on the sample you enter, not a guarantee of recoverable amounts. Med Claims Pro flags these gaps automatically the moment each check is recorded.
The MCO check covered sixteen claimants. Three of them came up short.
That is one week billed at the Level 2 rate and paid at Level 1 — twenty-five cents a unit, eighty-five units, on a bill nobody at the MCO will ring you about. You would find it around 11 p.m., cross-referencing the EOR against the Bill Tracker. Med Claims Pro finds it the moment you record the check.
Questions, answered.
Why do workers' comp bills get short-paid?
Unit-math errors in box 24G (time-based codes print ×10; mileage prints as-is), payers applying outdated fee schedules after a rate change, overflow B/C forms paid as one form, and lines dropped in bill review.
What should I do about a short-paid bill?
Keep the original form as evidence, compute the exact balance, and follow your state’s process — in Ohio, a rebill/adjustment request to the MCO; other states have formal review steps with deadlines. See the state rules hub.

We load your state’s codes before the call, so you are looking at a caseload like yours inside the first two minutes — not a slide deck.
