The most common Wisconsin Medicaid denials seen in Brookfield are prior authorization missing or expired, plan-of-record mismatch (patient assigned to different MCO), medical necessity documentation insufficient, timely filing exceeded, and managed care vs FFS routing errors.

Across Brookfield's 8 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
