Question 3

What is the average recoverable revenue for allergy/immunology practices missing CMS updates?

Accepted Answer

According to CLV Intelligence's revenue model, allergy/immunology practices operating under NGS (National Government Services) (Jurisdictions J6, JK) that do not monitor CMS and MAC policy changes in real time may expose an estimated $19,699 in recoverable annual revenue per provider location. This estimate applies a 4% industry-standard coding error rate to an average allergy/immunology Medicare claim value of $950, adjusted for a 60% conservative recovery capture rate and an urgency multiplier derived from the volume of open high-priority alerts (currently 19). This is a directional estimate provided by CLV Intelligence — not a billing or legal guarantee. Actual recoverable amounts depend on claim volume, payer mix, and current coding accuracy.
