Leaving money on the table?

We’ve solved the puzzle for YOU

A few words about our process

As an out-of-network health services provider you know that getting paid by insurance companies isn’t always easy, fast or for the amount billed. Insurance verification of benefits (VOB) is usually one of the first steps in a sometimes, complex financial decision matrix intrinsic to the admissions process. But can you rely on the VOB to assure adequate payment for services rendered? Have you ever received less money than what the VOB indicated?

Below is an out-of-network example of a typical billing cycle for a single patient’s total billing for services rendered:

Admission – VOB

Medical necessity.
Unlimited benefits.
Pays at 60% of usual-and-customary billing (UNC) until deductible and out-of-pocket have been met. Then 100% payout.
$5,000 deductible.
$12,000 out-of-pocket etc.

Billing – Claim

Submitted claims total $70,000 (Minus $12,000 deductible & max out of pocket) $58,000 owed.
Deductible and out-of-pocket have been met.
Receive payment after 45 days.

Payment – EOB

Insurance company “Allowed Rate” total for all claims $11,040.
Payment amount is $12,600.
$45,400 still outstanding.
Payment is approximately 18% of billed amount.

Collection
