Abstract
Most payers specify a timely filing period for submitting claims for medical services (eg, 60 or 90 days). Claims that are denied for untimely filing are those for which the original submission to the payer occurred after the timely filing period has elapsed. However, there are opportunities to seek a reconsideration of the claim when a practice can provide evidence of timely filing.
