It lives in the insurer's system
The rules are applied when a claim arrives, which is weeks after the moment when producing the missing document would have taken thirty seconds.
WHY THE CHECK COMES LATE
The requirements are known in advance and applied at the end.
Each insurer has a list. Which procedures need pre-authorisation, which need a referral, which codes pair with which treatments. That list is not secret and not disputed.
The patient has gone home
A referral letter that was easy to obtain during the admission is very hard to obtain six weeks after discharge.
Each round trip is another month
Correction and resubmission restarts the queue, and a claim can go around three times over a document nobody disputes.
The clinic finances the delay
Staff were paid, supplies consumed, and the receivable sits. That cost reaches patients eventually.
If you submit claims, or assess them.
The useful thing is your actual rejection reasons and how long a round trip takes.
