Four steps from write-off to award

We manage every statutory deadline in the process. You provide claim data and clinical records; we do the rest.

Free Claims Review

We analyze your denied and underpaid OON claims, screen for federal and state eligibility, and quantify recoverable dollars — at no cost.

We initiate the 30-day open-negotiation period, assemble the evidentiary record and build the offer strategy for each batch.

File & Arbitrate

Claims are batched and filed with the appropriate federal or state entity with a full QPA rebuttal, credentialing and complexity narrative.

Recover & Enforce

We track awards through the 30-day payment window and escalate non-payment through CMS complaints and enforcement action where required.

Who we serve

Built for the specialties that live out-of-network

FAQ

Common questions

What is the Federal IDR process?

Independent Dispute Resolution is the arbitration mechanism created by the No Surprises Act. When an out-of-network provider disagrees with a plan's payment for an eligible emergency or facility-based service, either party can submit the dispute to a certified IDR entity, which selects one of the two offers. Providers have historically prevailed in the large majority of determinations.

How do you charge?

On contingency only. There are no retainers, filing charges, administrative fees or software costs. Our fee is a percentage of the incremental amount actually collected above what the payer originally paid.

Which claims are eligible?

Eligibility depends on the service type (emergency services, non-emergency services at in-network facilities, and air ambulance), the plan type, the state in which the service was delivered, and completion of the required open-negotiation period within the statutory deadlines. Our free review screens every claim against these criteria.

Do you replace my billing company?

No. We work alongside your existing billing team, practice management system and clearinghouse. We need claim data and clinical records; the rest of your revenue cycle continues unchanged.

How long does it take to get paid?

Federal disputes typically resolve within 60–120 days of filing, with payment due 30 days after the determination. State venues vary. We manage all deadlines and pursue enforcement when payers do not pay awards on time.

Do you handle state arbitration as well?

Yes. Where a state process applies instead of, or in addition to, the federal process, we select the venue that maximizes recovery and file accordingly.

What do you need from us to start?

A claims export for your out-of-network encounters (typically the last 12–24 months), remittance data, and access to clinical documentation for the claims we pursue. We execute a business associate agreement before any data is shared.
