​​

4. Click the Export button to download a spreadsheet.

Re-Dispute Denied Disputes

​​1. Go to the FOLLOW UP bucket.

​​

​2. Click on the Status filter and choose the Denied status.

​​

​3. Re-Dispute the Claims.

​It’s a good idea to add those comments to the INTERNAL NOTES in

​the DEDUCTION DETAILS page when you re-submit it.​
