Automated Waystar Appeal Letter Drafting

Every morning, WebRun opens Waystar, finds denials without a drafted appeal yet, reads the denial reason code and available clinical documentation, drafts an appeal letter addressed to the payer in Outlook citing the specific reason and supporting detail, and leaves every draft unsent for your appeals specialist to review and submit.

In short

How do I get a draft appeal letter for every Waystar claim denial?

Every morning, WebRun opens Waystar, finds denials that still need an appeal, and drafts a letter in Outlook citing the specific denial reason code and available clinical documentation for each. It saves every letter as an unsent draft so your appeals specialist only reviews and submits, cutting the time spent starting each appeal from scratch.

  • Every appealable denial gets a documented first draft instead of a blank page
  • Appeals specialists spend their time reviewing and submitting, not starting from scratch
  • No appeal ever goes to a payer without a human reviewing it first

Questions, answered

Will it send the appeal to the payer on its own?

No. Every appeal letter is saved as an unsent draft in Outlook. Your appeals specialist reviews, edits if needed, and sends it. WebRun never submits an appeal to a payer without that review.

What does the drafted letter actually reference?

The specific denial reason code, the denial date, and whatever supporting clinical documentation or payer policy language is available in Waystar for that claim, so the draft is a real starting point, not a generic template.

What happens to a denial once the appeal is submitted?

Once your specialist sends it and updates the status in Waystar, it drops off the next morning's list of denials needing a draft, so the same claim will not get a duplicate letter.

Put this on autopilot.
