Timely filing refers to the requirement that claims or documents must be submitted within a specified timeframe to be considered valid and eligible for processing. This period often varies depending on the type of claim, the payer's policies, and applicable regulations. Failing to submit within this timeframe can lead to claim denials or delays in payment. It is crucial for providers and organizations to understand and adhere to these deadlines to ensure proper reimbursement.
