Ring in the New Year with Improved Revenues!


5 Simple Questions

1.            Are you worried that your zero balance accounts may include accounts with have uncollected funds that are due you?

2.            Is your staff overwhelmed by current accounts that require appeals of denials and follow up for payment variances that don't comply with contract rates?

3.            If you could find a way to recover any dollars that may have been incorrectly written off without spending more on the cost to collect would you do it?

4.            Would you like an expert to review your managed care agreements as a part of the recovery process and provide pointers on how these problems could be avoided in the future.

5.            When can we start?

Chances are, you have been concerned about these issues for some time.  To set your mind at ease,  consider this: We work on a contingency basis.  The last three-hospital system that we assisted recovered over $7,000,000 from zero balance accounts that were incorrectly written off.   We only looked back 2 years.

Our team does all the backup research needed to pursue payment from insurers.  We write the appeals, obtain and submit defenses and handle the telephone calls.

To start the process, we will need:
 

  1. A copy of each of your managed care agreements in electronic format. We are prepared to sign a non-disclosure and a HIPAA Business Associate Addendum and to only use the contracts for reference purposes to ensure that the contract has been followed with regards to the rates you were paid and the stipulations to follow up short paid claims
  2. Electronic access to your zero balance accounts
  3. Access to EOBs


To get started, call 800.209.7263. Execute a Letter of Intent to Engage and we will come to your location and perform a revenue potential analysis at no charge to you.
