Managing SBR can be challenging for healthcare providers, especially when deadlines, documentation requirements, and submission errors lead to delayed or denied reimbursements. Many practices lose valuable time trying to correct filings or respond to disputes manually. Medical Lien Management expertly streamlines this process by handling Second Bill Review (SBR) submissions through a proprietary Jet Filing system, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and faster resolutions that help providers recover what they’re owed without administrative strain.
Navigating the workers’ compensation claims process can be complex and time-consuming. Filing appeals through Second Bill Review (SBR) and Jet Filing are key methods used to resolve disputes and ensure healthcare providers receive the proper reimbursements for their services.
Here’s an overview of how each of these filing methods works and why they’re essential for maximizing your revenue cycle.
Second Bill Review (SBR) is an essential tool for healthcare providers when a workers’ compensation claim has been denied or underpaid. If a claim has been rejected or incorrectly paid, an SBR filing allows for a re-evaluation of the claim to determine if proper payment was made based on California workers’ compensation fee schedules.
Effective SBR filing can help recover underpaid claims, correct payment errors, and ensure that all claims are in full compliance with California workers’ compensation regulations. With MLM’s expertise, we help minimize denial rates and speed up reimbursements, ensuring your practice gets paid accurately and on time.
Jet Filing is a technology-driven solution that accelerates the submission and processing of workers’ compensation claims. This system is designed to automate and streamline the filing process, drastically reducing errors and delays while ensuring your claims are processed quickly and accurately.
Jet Filing uses advanced automation technology to submit claims electronically, ensuring that the proper documentation and medical codes are included in each submission. This reduces the chances of human error and improves claim accuracy.
Traditional claim submission methods can be slow and prone to errors. Jet Filing eliminates bottlenecks by using real-time data transfers and direct integration with insurance systems. This ensures that your claims are reviewed and processed faster, reducing delays and improving cash flow.
Jet Filing integrates with insurance systems, payer databases, and medical record systems to ensure efficiency and accuracy in every submission. This automation allows for faster resolutions and minimizes the need for follow-ups.
Our proprietary jet filing method helps healthcare providers improve their revenue cycle efficiency by accelerating claim submissions and speeding up payments. By reducing administrative workload, manual errors, and submission delays, Jet Filing ensures that claims are processed more quickly, enabling faster reimbursement.

Filing a Second Bill Review (SBR) in California requires precise documentation, strict deadline compliance, and a strong understanding of why the original bill was reduced or denied. Medical Lien Management offers specialized SBR filing services that help healthcare providers overcome payer disputes, correct underpayments, and recover the revenue they are owed without unnecessary administrative work.
We examine the original bill, the Explanation of Review, payment history, and denial reasons to determine whether the case qualifies for SBR. Our team identifies the payer errors or coding discrepancies that strengthen your resubmission.
MLM prepares corrected bills and updates all CPT, ICD-10, and modifier details to meet California workers’ compensation billing rules. This improves approval rates and supports the validity of your resubmission.
We gather all required documentation, including medical reports, treatment notes, DWC forms, and justification letters. This ensures your SBR package is complete and ready for review.
SBR requests must be submitted within 90 days of receiving the EOR. Our team ensures every submission meets this deadline to prevent automatic denials caused by timing issues.
We communicate with adjusters and bill reviewers to confirm receipt, request processing updates, and address any issues that may slow down reimbursement.
If the SBR is denied, MLM prepares your file for Independent Bill Review (IBR). We document payer errors, compile all evidence, and guide your practice through the next recovery step.
Our reporting tools give providers clear visibility into SBR performance, including approval rates, turnaround times, and financial results. This helps you make informed business decisions.
Once payments are issued after a successful SBR, we match payments to claims and post them accurately. Any remaining balance is reconciled to ensure your revenue cycle stays clean and accurate.
We stay updated with all DWC and administrative director rules to ensure every SBR submission is fully compliant with California workers’ compensation requirements, improving acceptance rates and reducing risk.
If your workers’ compensation claims are delayed or underpaid, MLM’s SBR and Jet Filing services can help you recover the revenue you deserve. Our team is dedicated to providing fast, efficient, and accurate claims filing to improve your practice’s cash flow and reduce claim denials.
