The most common Utah Medicaid denials seen in Murray 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 Murray's 10 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
