Every reason to deny or reduce explained

Description: Virtual Examiner® evaluates claims directly within your environment against CMS NCCI edits, Medicaid rules, your DOFR and contracts, and your custom configurations—then layers in a full 3-year history of billed and paid claims. Instead of checking rules one at a time, VE applies all reimbursement logic in a single pass and returns all applicable reasons to deny, reduce, or pend. Your team no longer has to search across systems or interpret conflicting guidance—they receive clear, claim-level recommendations and can focus on making fast, accurate, and defensible decisions.

  • Prioritize High-Value Claims Instantly→

    Virtual Reporter® allows your team to isolate high-impact claims instantly using customizable filters based on dollars, providers, CPT/HCPCS codes, or specific edit types. Instead of reviewing everything, teams can focus on the highest-risk and highest-value claims first—reducing review time while increasing financial impact.

  • Align to Your Existing Workflows →

    Every organization operates differently. VR can be configured to match your internal workflows, reporting needs, and decision thresholds—whether by line of business, provider group, or claim type. This ensures your team is reviewing claims in a structured, consistent format aligned with your operational and compliance goals.

  • Enforce Your Contract & DOFR Logic →

    Virtual Reporter® includes a contract module where your team builds and maintains DOFR structures, provider contracts, and fee schedules. Once configured, VE applies these terms during claim review so reimbursement is evaluated against how you are contractually obligated to pay—not just standard coding rules. This ensures contract-specific overpayments and inconsistencies are identified in line with your actual agreements.

  • Control what VE audits →

    Within Virtual Reporter®, your team can define exclusions by provider, billing group, billing ID, or specific lines of business. This allows you to remove known scenarios from review, reduce unnecessary noise, and focus audit efforts only on claims that require action—keeping workflows clean, targeted, and efficient.

Focus audits based on your needs

Description: Virtual Examiner® organizes your claims data into actionable provider-level intelligence, analyzing billing patterns, utilization shifts, modifier abuse, and reimbursement anomalies across a full 3-year history. Instead of reacting to isolated claims, your team can identify systemic issues tied to specific providers, specialties, or groups—allowing for earlier intervention, stronger compliance oversight, and more defensible audit strategies.

  • Identify High-Risk Providers Instantly →

    Quickly surface providers with abnormal billing behavior, such as a single physician billing modifier -25 on 70%+ of E&M visits, or a facility repeatedly submitting high-level E&M (99215) at rates far above peers. VE also flags providers with frequent duplicate billing patterns or consistent use of mutually exclusive procedures, allowing your team to isolate risk immediately.

  • Compare Against Peer Benchmarks →

    Evaluate providers against similar specialties and regions to identify true outliers. For example, a cardiologist billing stress tests 2–3x more frequently than comparable providers, or a surgical group consistently applying modifier -59 at significantly higher rates than peers. This removes guesswork and ensures investigations are based on measurable variance, not assumptions.

  • Track Trends Over Time →

    Monitor how provider behavior changes across months and years. For example, VE can identify a provider who suddenly increases use of modifier -25 or -59 after a contract update, or a group whose average reimbursement per claim steadily rises due to coding shifts. These trend insights allow early intervention before issues scale into material financial or compliance exposure.

  • Support SIU & Compliance Actions →

    Provide structured data to support investigations and corrective action. For example, VE outputs can be used to document repeated unbundling patterns, support provider education on modifier misuse, or escalate cases where billing behavior suggests potential fraud, waste, or abuse. This ensures your SIU and compliance teams act with defensible, data-backed evidence.

Research codes, pricing, and rules

Description: Virtual AuthTech® gives your teams a real-time research and validation environment to evaluate CPT®, HCPCS, modifiers, diagnoses, and pricing logic before claims are submitted or authorizations are approved. Built on the same logic as Virtual Examiner®, VA allows staff to test scenarios against CMS, Medicaid, and your DOFR and contract terms—ensuring decisions are accurate, consistent, and defensible before they impact claims or payments.

  • Validate Codes Before Submission →

    Identify issues upfront, such as modifier -25 applied without a separate E&M, -59 used where NCCI bundling applies, or invalid code combinations that would later deny. Teams can correct claims before they enter the payment cycle.

  • Simulate Real Adjudication Outcomes →

    Run mock adjudications to see how a claim will process under your rules. For example, test professional vs technical splits (-26/-TC), evaluate multiple procedure reductions, or confirm fee schedule reimbursement based on contract terms before finalizing decisions.

  • Support Authorization Decisions →

    Evaluate requests during the authorization process, such as confirming whether a procedure requires prior auth under CMS guidelines, or identifying when a request should be approved, reduced, or flagged for review based on coding and utilization logic.

  • Improve Consistency Across Teams →

    Ensure claims, authorization, and contracting teams are aligned. Instead of relying on varying interpretations, everyone uses the same validated logic to assess scenarios like frequency limits, diagnosis requirements, or bundled services, reducing errors and internal discrepancies.

Implementation, Training & Support


Virtual Examiner® (“VE”) is deployed within your organization’s secure environment and integrated into your existing claims workflows with minimal disruption. Implementation includes remote installation, IT and operational kickoff sessions, system configuration, and full user acceptance testing to ensure accuracy before go-live. Your team then undergoes structured onsite training using your own claims data, followed by ongoing quarterly updates and continuous determination and technical support. From day one, PCG ensures your system is not only operational—but optimized for accurate, compliant, and high-impact decision-making.

  • Remote Installation →

    The Licensee provisions and maintains its own dedicated VE server within its secured environment. PCG remotely installs, initializes, configures, and tests Virtual Examiner® (“VE”) using temporary secured remote access provided by the Licensee.

  • Kick-off Calls and UAT →

    PCG conducts implementation planning and user acceptance testing (“UAT”) sessions with claims, compliance, IT, SIU, and operational leadership. These sessions validate claims data flow, workflow configuration, reporting requirements, and user access prior to production deployment.

  • Hardware & Software Requirements →

    VE requires a dedicated Windows-based server, Microsoft SQL Server environment, secure remote implementation access, and compatibility with the Licensee’s existing claims platform or claims data exports. Licensee is also responsible for maintaining a secure one-way SFTP connection for quarterly coding and reimbursement update deliveries.

  • Training Program →

    PCG provides role-based remote training for claims, compliance, SIU, authorization, and operational teams. Training includes denials, reductions, pends, FWA investigations, provider profiling, reporting workflows, reimbursement research, and quarterly update procedures for ongoing operational use.

  • Determination & Technical Support →

    PCG provides direct, ongoing support from in-house analysts, certified coders, and technical specialists who understand both the clinical and system-level logic behind every determination. For example, if your team questions a denial tied to modifier -59 or an NCCI bundling edit, our team can walk through the exact reasoning, supporting CMS guidance, and how it applies within your configuration. On the technical side, we assist with SQL optimization, report customization, workflow adjustments, and integration support—ensuring VE continues to run efficiently and aligns with your evolving operational needs.
