Most denial queues we audit are sorted by date, alphabet, or queue name. The biller works them top-to-bottom and runs out of day before they hit the high-dollar appeals.
Sorting by recoverable dollars — net of expected write-off — surfaces the $24,300 appeal before the $87 write-off. The biller spends the same time and recovers an order of magnitude more revenue.
MedIQ's denial workspace defaults to recoverable-dollar ranking out of the box. You can override it per queue, but most teams never do.
