Independent & Physician-Led

The unbiased read on the case that matters most.

Condition Code 44 provides independent medical case review, insurance appeal support, and clinical integration consulting — built for patients, providers, and payers who need a decision they can trust.

What We Do

Three ways we help you get the right decision.

Each engagement is led by clinicians and consultants with direct experience in utilization review, appeals, and health-system operations.

01

Independent Medical Case Review

A clinician-led, conflict-free review of diagnosis, treatment plans, or standard-of-care questions — for patients, attorneys, and organizations who need an objective second opinion on the record.

Second opinion · Record review
02

Payment & Coverage Appeals

We build the clinical case behind an appeal — organizing documentation, citing medical necessity criteria, and drafting the appeal narrative for denied claims, prior authorizations, and coverage disputes.

Denials · Prior auth · Claims
03

Clinical Integration Consulting

For healthcare organizations improving how clinical teams, payers, and administrative workflows connect — care coordination design, utilization review process improvement, and integration strategy.

How A Review Moves

A structured path from intake to decision.

Engagement & Fees

Structured to fit the work, not the other way around.

Every case and every organization is different, so we scope fees to match — rather than forcing every engagement into one model.

Hourly Consulting

Best for open-ended advisory work — clinical integration strategy, ad hoc reviewer questions, or ongoing organizational support.

Rate discussed per engagement

Per-Case Review

A defined fee for a single independent review or appeal package, scoped once we understand the case complexity and documentation involved.

Quoted after intake

Retainer

For health systems and practices that need recurring access to independent review or clinical integration support over time.

Custom monthly terms
Open to discussion — if an hourly rate works better for your organization than a flat case fee, we're glad to talk it through and land on a structure that fits both sides.
Why Independent Matters

No financial stake in the outcome — only the correct one.

Reviewers at Condition Code 44 are never employed by, or paid based on the outcome of, the payer or provider involved in a case. That separation is the entire point: a review that holds up because nothing about it was steered.

We work directly with patients and families, as well as with attorneys, medical groups, and health plans that need a defensible, well-documented opinion.

Who's Behind The Review

A physician who's seen both sides of the decision.

Deepak Manmohan Goyal, MD, MBA, FACP, FACHE

Dr. Goyal began his career as a board-certified internal medicine physician, treating patients directly in rural and hospital settings. That clinical foundation carried him into physician leadership — serving as Medical Director and Chief of Staff — and from there into executive roles overseeing revenue cycle, care management, and operations for major health systems. He serves on the board of the South Dakota State Medical Association and now advises organizations on aligning clinical care with financial and operational strategy, bringing that same progression — bedside to boardroom — to every engagement.
