PAYOR DISPUTES
strategic and technical expertise
Polsinelli Heath Care Solutions provides strategic solutions to Healthcare providers facing federal, state and commercial payor audits encompassing statistical analysis, coding support with professional partners and management of e-document solutions to minimize costs and expedite the resolution of payment disputes. Our advisors have experience with the alphabet soup of claims review contractors and auditors (i.e., ZPIC, SMRC, CERT, RAC and others). Because public and commercial payor contract auditors are incentivized to deny claims for improper payments, providers must be well-positioned to appeal incorrectly-denied claims.
Our work spans from multi-site health systems to durable medical equipment suppliers. We also provide reimbursement analysis and strategy support to resolve audit questions early and avoid unnecessary recoupments. Advisors on our team lean upon their vast litigation experiences and insider knowledge of the industry to streamline dispute resolution.
