What you'll learn
- Manage escalated disputes and evidence collection.
- Use legal letter templates and audit trails.
- Approve credits or write-offs beyond standard caps.
Step-by-step
- Triage escalated disputes.
- Visit Disputes -> Escalated to see cases that require legal review. Each entry includes payer reason codes, promised SLAs, and supporting documents.
- Confirm evidence completeness using the checklist (contract, invoice, proof of delivery, communication history).
- Generate legal correspondence.
- Use Generate Legal Letter to produce PDF templates customized with payer data, dispute reason, and requested resolution.
- Attach additional evidence before downloading or sending to the payer. Plixo logs the version and timestamp automatically.
- Approve credits beyond caps.
- When an Operator or Controller requests a credit above policy limits, review the case in Approvals -> Credits.
- Approve, reject, or request more information. Decisions appear in the audit trail with your name and rationale.
- Maintain audit readiness.
- Export dispute logs and correspondence history from Admin → Audit Log when internal or external auditors require evidence.
- Store exported files securely according to your company's retention policy.
Success checks
- Escalated disputes receive a legal response within the agreed SLA (typically 2 business days).
- Legal letter templates remain up to date with current jurisdiction language.
- Credits above cap are approved or rejected with documented reasoning.
Common pitfalls
- Missing evidence attachments. Use the checklist before finalizing letters to avoid restarting the process.
- Bypassing audit exports. Keep communication within Plixo to preserve the full trail.
- Delaying approvals. Credits waiting on legal sign-off can stall cash--set notifications to stay ahead.
