Managed Healthcare Reimbursment

Medical Accounts Systems has a division that exclusively pursues payment from Managed Care Organizations, Medicare, and Medicaid. In addition to bill submission/resubmission, MAS appeals underpayments, denials based upon lack of prior authorization, lack of medical necessity, pre-existing medical conditions, and partially approved hospitalizations (carve-outs), among other things. The Managed Care division is comprised of aggressive and experienced professionals and support personnel dedicated to securing recovery from commercial and government payors. These qualified individuals have special knowledge and understanding of the managed healthcare industry, possess the ability and skill to interpret managed care contracts and understand billing and reimbursement policies, and can navigate successfully through the grievance and appeal process.

MAS frequently encounters and provides appropriate solutions for the following:

• denials for untimely filing
• denials for lack of authorization
• denials based on lack of medical necessity
• contractual carve-outs
• underpayments under non-participating provider statutes
• Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) disputes
• Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) benefits denials
• coordination of benefits

The presence of seasoned healthcare litigation attorneys at Medical Accounts Systems gives the agency an unparalleled advantage when addressing these revenue draining issues. Additionally, MAS possesses the technology and infrastructure to identify and resolve denials, underpayments and carve-outs on an aggregate basis.
