Nextech claim scrubber for dermatology

Syntra is an AI claim and chart scrubber for dermatology practices on Nextech. It reads dermatology documentation in Nextech against the claim before submission, so missed revenue and denial risk are caught while the encounter can still be corrected.

Example capture

14060 · Adjacent tissue transfer, nose

Flap reconstruction documented as medically necessary closure not achievable with linear repair. Supports separate reporting of CPT 14060, as adjacent tissue transfer is not included in the Mohs surgical package.

How does Syntra work with dermatology documentation in Nextech?

Nextech practice management already edits the claim that was entered. Syntra reads the dermatology note in Nextech before that claim is final, so a service written in the chart but missing from the charge, or a modifier the note does not support, is caught while the encounter can still be fixed.

Nextech is common in ophthalmology and dermatology, where laterality, global periods, and Mohs or cataract complexity drive denials. Syntra checks those details in the note before the claim is created.

Mohs, repair, and pathology rules depend on lesion size, site, and margin documentation that only exists in the note.

Which dermatology denials does Syntra prevent on Nextech?

  • Adjacent tissue transfer or complex repairs bundled into Mohs when the note supports separate reporting
  • Lesion destruction and biopsy counts that do not match the documented lesions
  • E/M with modifier -25 denied because the separately identifiable service was not documented

Which modifiers does Syntra validate?

  • -25 on E/M with same-day procedures
  • -59 / -XS for separate lesions or sites
  • -79 for unrelated procedures in a global period

Common questions

What is the best claim scrubber for dermatology on Nextech?
A clearinghouse scrubber checks the claim after it is built. Nextech's own edits do the same inside the charting system. For dermatology billing, the gaps that survive those edits are in the note: a documented service that was never coded, or a modifier the note does not support. Syntra is an AI claim and chart scrubber that compares dermatology documentation in Nextech to codes, modifiers, and payer rules before submission, and it runs alongside the clearinghouse you already use.
Does Nextech scrub dermatology claims on its own?
Nextech practice management applies claim-level edits. Those rules check the claim that was built, so services documented in a dermatology note but never coded, and modifiers the note does not support, usually pass through. Syntra adds that chart-level review.
How long does it take to start on Nextech?
Practices start with a complimentary retroactive audit of recent dermatology charts in Nextech, then move to controlled pre-bill review and autonomous submission on eligible encounters over about 90 days.
