What are local/ payer-specific edits, and why are they important in Resolute?

Local/payer-specific edits are rules you configure in Resolute that reflect each payer’s exact policies and contract terms. They act as a pre-submission check, making sure the claim aligns with what the payer requires before it goes out. These edits verify coding accuracy and payer expectations—CPT/HCPCS codes and ICD codes used correctly, the right modifiers, appropriate units, and proper bundling rules. They also ensure the claim fits coverage and benefit details, such as what services are covered, whether authorization is needed, and how the payer’s contracted rates and allowed amounts should be applied. By enforcing these payer-specific requirements, edits catch mismatches early, preventing common reasons for denials, delays, or out-of-pocket costs for the patient. Because local edits can be tailored to each payer and their contract, they help ensure a claim is designed to adjudicate cleanly on first submission, improving acceptance rates and reducing follow-up work.
