Why it matters

A TMS or Spravato denial is rarely just a claim edit. The failure may have started weeks earlier in treatment-resistant depression evidence, rating-scale history, REMS enrollment, monitoring documentation, code transition handling, or auth/session-count tracking.

Cleaner scheduling confidence
Less manual payer research
More defensible exception handling
Workflow checks

Evidence to catch before work leaves the queue.

Operating workflow

Rules-first automation with human review where it counts.

Automation fit

Inspect the actual artifacts.

Foresight checks whether required evidence is present, whether records contradict each other, and whether the available facts look approvable under payer criteria before submission.

Completeness

Verify TRD/MDD diagnosis support, failed medication trials, rating-scale baseline and trend, auth dates, authorized session count, REMS setting status, observation documentation, discharge note, drug code, NDC, unit, and payer-required service code.

Contradictions

Flag session ledgers that do not match 90867/90868/90869 usage, Spravato dose and billable units that disagree, REMS monitoring missing from the billing record, or an auth approved under a retired or payer-specific drug code.

Payer approvability

Evaluate treatment-resistant depression criteria, prior therapy expectations, rating-scale severity, induction/maintenance cadence, reauthorization triggers, REMS requirements, and site-of-care rules before high-cost visits are scheduled.

Common leakage points

The work Foresight is built to surface early.

90867 repeated outside initial planning rules

Spravato drug code accepted by one payer but rejected by another

REMS monitoring or discharge documentation not tied to the billing record

Authorized session count exhausted before reauthorization is started

Workflow risk audit

Map the risk surface.

A useful audit scores concrete workflow gaps: missing evidence, contradictory records, payer criteria risk, and follow-through after submission.

Required evidence present

Whether the claim, PA, or appeal has the basic identifiers and clinical anchors needed before work leaves the queue.

Chart contradictions

Where the EHR, notes, questionnaire, inventory, pharmacy response, and billing record point to different answers.

Payer approvability

Whether the available evidence appears to satisfy payer criteria before the submission creates AR or appeal work.

Follow-through

Whether approvals, denials, paper EOBs, portal messages, corrected claims, and deposits resolve cleanly after submission.
