The packet review flow

The goal is to catch missing information before the packet reaches a portal, biller, or payer.

Provider setup

Confirm your billing profile, state enrollment, portal access, and any state-specific provider numbers before packet review.

Client eligibility

Keep eligibility evidence in private records. Public tools should not collect names, Medicaid IDs, dates of birth, or visit notes.

Service details

Match the visit date, service type, billing code, modifier, units or rate model, and any prior approval rule for the state.

Documentation

Make sure the note supports the service you plan to bill and includes the details your state requires.

Review status

Treat submission-ready as a packet status, not a payment promise. Payer review still controls reimbursement.

Use the checklist without client details

Start public. Move to private only when a real client record is involved.
