We do this for you.
When an out of network surgical claim is filed right, federal IDR routinely pays well above the insurer's first number, and most properly filed disputes go the provider's way. We build the submission, your billing team approves it, and you keep the recovery. We do this every day and we win most of the time. No one can promise a specific result on a specific claim, and we will not pretend otherwise.
No outcome is guaranteed. Results vary by claim, payer, specialty, and documentation. Any general figures reflect the published federal record across all disputes, not a prediction about your claim. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.
The window does not wait.
Most practices never file, and the window does not wait. After open negotiation ends you have four business days to start a dispute. Miss it and that money is gone for good. This is the part that costs surgical practices the most, doing nothing.
