Incomplete documents often delay claim verification and lead to financial loss for healthcare providers. The research used a quantitative approach and analyzed 206 outpatient claim files submitted between February and June 2025.

The findings revealed that most returned claims were caused by missing laboratory or radiology results, incomplete referral documents, and inconsistent medical records. Statistical analysis showed a strong correlation between document completeness and the frequency of returned claims.

The study concluded that improving internal communication, enhancing staff training, and optimizing electronic record systems can reduce the risk of claim rejection and improve financial sustainability.]]>
