Timely Filing Deadline Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Filing deadline = Service date + Filing window days. Internal submission target = Filing deadline - Buffer days.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Payer Filing Preset: Commercial payer planning - 180 days
  • Service Date: 2026-04-30
  • Custom Filing Window: 180 days
  • Submission Buffer: 14 days

Expected outputs

  • Timely Filing Deadline: 2026-10-27
  • Internal Submit By: 2026-10-13
  • Days Remaining: 33
  • Status: Within estimated filing window

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • The calculation uses calendar days.
  • Preset windows are planning references and not payer-contract content.
  • Payer rules may use received date, discharge date, corrected-claim rules, or special exceptions.
  • This is not legal, compliance, billing, or payer-contract advice.

Unit handling

  • Payer Filing Preset accepts one of the configured options.
  • Service Date accepts calendar dates.
  • Custom Filing Window accepts values in days.
  • Submission Buffer accepts values in days.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
