Medical Claims Payments "About 23% of claims are paid at a rate of zero … for a number of reasons, but that means that the physician practice has to sort out those reasons, resubmit those claims and find out why they were denied. If we had a fair and transparent pro- cess, we wouldn't have to be spending health care resources tracking payments that are owed to the physicians who perform the services." — Barbara McAneny, M.D., American Medical Association's Board of Trustees
