For the independent physician group

You did the work.
You should be able to see what happened to the money.

Most groups learn how they did from a report written by someone else. The Bridge builds the other copy: your own record, from your own files, reconstructed on your own machine.

Where the chain can break

Four handoffs sit between a service and a dollar.

Each one is a place where a link can fail without anyone being told. Not fraud. Just a join that nobody owns.

  1. 01Work becomes a claim.Work with no matching claim line in the record. The service happened; the billing handoff has not been established.
  2. 02A claim becomes an adjudication.Submitted claim lines with no matching remittance in the record. Not zero. Not necessarily denied. The adjudication handoff remains open.
  3. 03An adjudication becomes a payment.An adjudication that does not become a payer payment. The reason may be established by adjustment and denial codes — or remain unresolved.
  4. 04A payment becomes cash.Remittances with no matching deposit, and deposits with no matching remittance.
The rule that makes it usable

Unknown is not zero.

A claim with no remittance is not a claim paid nothing. It is a claim with no remittance in the record. Treating those as the same turns an open question into a settled loss — and quietly makes the report look complete.

Every figure carries its provenance
  • RecordRead directly from a source file.
  • Record-derivedArithmetic or logic over record facts only.
  • CounterfactualRecord facts plus a stated assumption, with the source or act that would close it.
  • Model-derivedA result calculated entirely inside a declared model.
  • GapRequired input the record does not establish. Never shown as zero.
  • ContradictionTwo governed sources disagree. Displayed, not resolved by preference.
Where it runs

On your machine. Nowhere else.

Postgres runs inside the browser tab. In this demonstration, files are parsed and queried on the computer in front of you and disappear on reload — no account, no server upload, no vendor holding the copy. The demonstration data is fully synthetic. For real practice data, the same engine can run in an environment the practice controls.

Try it yourself
Interactive demo · fully synthetic data

Follow the record.

Trace a synthetic physician group's money from work performed to claim, adjudication, payment and bank cash. Open every figure to the rows behind it and see where the billing company's report agrees with the underlying record — and where the record remains open.
No signup. Runs entirely in your browser.

Where it belongs

A number both sides can check.

An independent record does not win an argument by asserting a bigger number. It wins by being inspectable — every figure traceable to the rows that produced it, every gap named with the source that would close it.

Illustrative — synthetic data, no patient records.
