The duplicate billing risk was flagged
Insured Guard linked both invoices to the same claim and marked the second bill for review before another payment.
Two statements can look separate while pointing to the exact same claim.
How do we know
It prevents duplicate billing across documents.
Insured Guard links invoices to claims and compares open balances across documents. If multiple bills point to the same claim and request the same patient responsibility, the duplicate risk is surfaced.
