Medical bills for the same procedures can vary by thousands from one provider to the next. Sometimes, the same provider will bill vastly different prices for In-Network vs. Out-of-Network claims for the same services. In addition, many medical bills include mistakes, incorrect diagnosis codes, or other errors that artificially inflate the amount due goingunnoticed costing and you more than it should.
We touch every claim putting a skilled negotiator behind our offering directly with the provider. No computer prompting, re-pricing or balancing billing your health plan. Our internal health claims data provides the critical information for our negotiators to achieve additional savings on every claim. IN or Out-of-Network, we get it done. Our team of specialized negotiators goes to work on every claim that comes through your healthcare plan, bringing together our internal data, analytics, provider relationships and decades of experience to work for you in identifying the greatest opportunities for cost savings on every medical bill.
Before every negotiation we do a deep dive into the historical billing numbers of every medical circumstance and provider practice. With that information readily available, no one is better prepared to fight for your healthcare costs as soon as we receive the claim.
We work directly with the providers – from hospitals, to doctors' offices, to imaging centers. When you get a bill, our team will work collaboratively with the provider to ensure our clients only pay an appropriate amount for the services their employees/members receive.
Like your friend who works at the dealership getting you a new lease deal, or a co-worker who can score you those box seat tickets, it's all about who you know. Except in our case, it's knowing thousands of hospitals, doctors and insurance providers.
In addition to regular annual savings that beat standard market performance, we provide fully transparent results that show you every dollar we brought back to you and what opportunities are on the horizon by connecting our advocacy with our internal claims data.
