Out of Network Billing

CollectionPro > Out of Network Billing

Collecting from Out-of-Network Billing Made Simple and Profitable

CollectionPro is here to maximize reimbursements, reverse denials, and help you take control of your out-of-network (OON) claims with expert billing and arbitration support. Today, providers and healthcare practices are facing more issues than ever while trying to get reimbursed for out-of-network services provided. An increasing number of OON claims are going denied or at best, severely underpaid. The losses are multiplying rapidly and accounts receivable continue to pile up fast.  

For many physicians, providing out-of-network services or treatments is becoming a relentless struggle against delayed or denied payments from payers, low reimbursements due to tight payer negotiations, heavy administrative burden for appeals and disputes, and not to forget, confusing regulations of the No Surprises Act (NSA).  

This is where OON claim experts like CollectionPro can make a real difference. 

Get Paid 5x More from Out-of-Network Claims

Providing specialized billing support for out-of-network claims, we have dedicated experts who are adept at scrubbing such claims, building compelling arguments, resubmitting them, and then finally collecting the provider’s full dues from the payer. Having handled more than 10,000 IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) cases with a 92% success rate, we bring unmatched experience and expertise in tackling the most complex challenges in out-of-network payments. Our in-house experts in the No Surprises Act are fluent in both the federal and state-level IDR processes.

Understanding payer strategies, using strategic NSA caveats, and building irrefutable arguments that preemptively counter payer denials, we’ve consistently achieved high recovery success in complex service categories. We further analyze each claim to determine if it qualifies for federal NSA, State IDR, or alternate legal recovery, so you get paid fast and to the max. In fact, our deep understanding of accounts receivable management lets us collect from underpaid and unpaid claims that are more than 365 days old or longer – often up to 5x the payer’s offer, or more!

CollectionPro – The OON Billing Solution that Maximizes Your Revenue

All About the No Surprises Act for Out-of-Network Services 

The No Surprises Act (NSA) of 2022 is still new for many.  And for many it might be confusing, as with the passing of the act, billing for out-of-network claims and getting reimbursed from erstwhile ‘balance bills’ (which can no longer be sent to patients under the provisions of the Act) has changed significantly. At CollectionPro, we bring expert assistance in revenue cycle management (RCM) to help practices with problems related to OON claims. Streamlining operations, reducing administrative burdens, and preventing unnecessary delays that eat into revenue, our experts leverage proven strategies that effectively reverse denials and let providers collect their full dues from their OON claims.  

Expert Healthcare Reimbursement through IDR 

A cornerstone of the No Surprises Act is the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) system. IDR is an official arbitration process – supervised by CMS at the Federal level and other local agencies at the State level – that allows practices to bring their payer-reimbursement grievances stemming from out-of-network claims before a neutral, third party arbitrator. This is done in order to determine fair reimbursement from OON claims for healthcare professionals and organizations. 

While impartial judgment is compulsory for practices struggling with low payer compensation, we have seen it can really be time-consuming and costly if handled in-house. This is where CollectionPro’s specialized IDR services take the driver’s seat, guiding you to success along the slippery roads of revenue recovery. From the initial case filing, analyzing Superbills and EOBs (Explanation of Benefits) and overseeing preliminary negotiations, through applying for IDR arbitrations and securing the win for you – our experienced team builds strong cases to help practices secure rightful payment. By outsourcing this complex step, you can not only protect your bottom line but further improve your overall RCM efficiency. 

Payer Negotiation Services 

Winning with OON billing isn’t just about compliance, you need experience. Our experience in working for both providers and payers gives us an added advantage that allows us to negotiate more favorable arrangements for your claim. We use the NSA knowledge and expertise of our in-house arbitration experts to help you receive a customized and sustainable solution. Combined with cutting-edge solutions and powerful strategies, our NSA acumen shines through every claim we work on. For practices navigating today’s competitive healthcare environment, effective payer negotiations can be the difference between survival and growth. With CollectionPro, you are always assured of reduced administrative roadblocks, faster resolutions, and improved reimbursement rates. 

Balance Billing Prevention Solutions 

There is no doubt that the No Surprises Act has transformed how patients perceive medical billing, especially in terms of paying anything in excess of the agreed copays and deductibles. In fact, surprise bills and exorbitant balance billing are no longer permitted under NSA. In view of this, we focus on working closely with payers to help surgeons, physicians and other paramedics get paid for all their out-of-network encounters, especially those made in an Emergency Room. By specializing in IDR and payer negotiations, CollectionPro effectively eliminates unnecessary patient disputes while ensuring your practice gets paid fairly by the payers directly.
