Medical Insurance Claims Collection Agency

Insurance claim doctor
Everybody struggles to recover money from insurance companies in a timely manner. Although some insurers consistently processed claims within 30 days, other insurers might take as long 120 days to pay claims. This unpredictability in the reimbursement process caused numerous healthcare providers to experience cash flow difficulties and other operational problems.

Medical insurance claims submitted by doctors, dentists and hospitals with proper documentation are required to be paid within set time limits or face penalties and other sanctions. These are called “prompt-pay statutes” and primarily applicable to the healthcare industry.

Once the insurance company is contacted by a third party Collection Agency, on behalf of a healthcare provider, they are reminded of their duty to pay claims in a timely manner. Failure to resolve medical insurance claims in a timely manner may be in violation of the state law.

A debt Collection Agency will send five collection/reminder letters to these Insurance Companies, and they are legally required to respond due to the “Prompt-pay statute” law. Non-timely reimbursements is a leading cause of stress and burnout among medical professionals.

These laws and pay-out periods vary from state to state, in operation, complexity, and severity, but they share the goal of compelling insurers to promptly and fully pay all legitimate claims. Debt issues in the BSFI market are expected to grow significantly in the next 10 years.
