Drop your billing export. Every line comes back checked against the payers' own
published rules, with the source cited. Kestrel doesn't submit claims and never connects to a payer —
you bill exactly how you do today, just without the denials you could have caught.

How this works — about two minutes, once a month.
Bring the file you're about to bill. Either an export (CentralReach: Billing → Billing
Entries → filter your period → select all → Export; Rethink, AlohaABA and others work the
same) or the 837 claim file itself — the one you'd upload to Availity, Office Ally,
Waystar or whichever clearinghouse you use. Checking the 837 means you're checking exactly what
the payer will see.
Drop the file below. It's read on your own computer. Only the code columns —
payer, CPT, units, modifiers, dates — are sent for checking. Names never leave your device.
Confirm the columns. Kestrel guesses them for you and remembers your answer, so from
next month this step is one click.
Fix what's flagged, then bill the way you always do — submit from your practice
system, upload to your clearinghouse, key it into the payer portal, or hand it to your biller.
Kestrel never touches claims or connects to a payer. It reads your export and tells you what
would come back denied, while it's still cheap to fix.
Parsed on your device. Patient info never leaves your browser.
Step 2 · Confirm the columns
Kestrel read your headers and filled these in.
Glance down the list, fix anything wrong, and click Check. Your answers are remembered — next month
this screen is one click.
Where these services were delivered — it decides which state's Medicaid rules apply.
Informational review, not billing or legal advice — verify flagged items against the payer’s linked source before changing a claim. A PASS is not a guarantee of payment.

What do these verdicts mean?
FAIL breaks a payer rule we verified against their own
manual. Fix before submitting.
WARN worth a look: a likely typo, a duplicate, or a rule
we've extracted but not yet promoted to blocking.
PASS checked against the rules we hold for that payer and
code, and nothing was violated.
REVIEWED no rule on file, so we read that payer's
actual documents for this code and found nothing this line breaks.
UNKNOWN we don't have coverage here yet and won't
pretend. Never treat unknown as approved.
NEW RULE the payer changed something recently — the
finding links the alert and the document that announced it.
Kestrel is a reference tool, not a billing service, and it never submits claims. Findings can be
incomplete or wrong — check each one against the payer document linked beside it. What you bill,
and what you don't, stays your decision and your responsibility.

how your data is handled
Patient info stayed on this device. Only code fields are being checked.
Before you act on anything above: Kestrel Check is an informational
pre-submission review tool — it is not legal, billing, or coding advice, and a
PASS is not a guarantee of payment. Rules are extracted from payer publications
and each verdict links its source; verify flagged items against the payer’s
current documentation before changing a claim. You remain responsible for every
claim you submit. Your files are read on your device — patient names, IDs, and
dates of birth are never transmitted to Kestrel’s servers. See our
Terms,
Privacy and
Data & Compliance notes.
