Automated Nephrology Claim Denial Worklist
Every morning, WebRun opens Acumen, pulls all claim denials received in the past 24 hours, categorizes each by denial reason, logs them to a Google Sheets worklist, and sends a priority alert to the billing team via Telegram.
How do I automatically build a nephrology claim denial worklist?
Every morning, WebRun opens Acumen and pulls all claim denials received in the past 24 hours for dialysis and CKD services. It categorizes each by denial reason, logs them to a Google Sheets worklist sorted by value at risk, and sends a Telegram alert to the billing team, so high-value denials reach an appeals queue within hours.
- New denials reach the billing team within hours, not days
- Highest-value claims are always at the top of the worklist
- Denial patterns by category become visible for root-cause fixes
Built for nephrology billing teams · dialysis billing managers · CKD practice administrators · nephrology revenue cycle staff

Questions, answered
Does WebRun file the appeal automatically?
No. WebRun identifies, categorizes, and prioritizes denied claims in a worklist. The billing team reviews each denial and files the appeal through Acumen or the payer portal.
How does it prioritize which denials to work first?
The worklist is sorted by billed amount descending, so the highest-value claims appear first. Staff can re-sort by denial category or appeal deadline to fit their workflow.
Which denial codes does it recognize?
It captures the raw denial code from Acumen and maps it to plain-language categories such as missing authorization, medical necessity, duplicate claim, and timely filing. You can add custom mappings to your sheet.
