  1. Insurance Claims Resolution Spend more time with patients,and less time worrying about receivables.

  2. With Insurance Carriers - Time is not on your side • 80% of all revenue for most medical practices comes from insurance claims filed electronically or manually. • Delays in payment cause frustration and restrict cash-flow. • GreenFlag Insurance Resolution Recoveryisan automated and revolutionary tool to assist in the rapid recovery and resolution of these claims.

  3. Why a delay in Claim Resolution Possible Causes: • Incorrect information • Missing codes, signature etc. • Money applied to deductible • Insurance checks released to patients • Insurance companies simply holding on to your money as long as possible • “Claims never received” • Claims held “in review”

  4. Internal Complications... • Rising internal recovery costs and FTE expenses • Continued depreciation of old claims • Coordination of benefits with primary or secondary provider • Billing staff tendency towards concentration on current claims after numerous attempts to recover older claims have failed • Continued restriction of cash-flow

  5. Common: One Phase Approach Typical In House ProceduresInternal Cost can be $20 - $35/claim • Most claims are paid • in the first 30-45 days. • Once past due, phone • calls, tracers, on-hold • time and FTE expense • increase with attempts • to resolve a claim. As claim ages: Cost to recover increases

  6. Recommended: Two-Phase Approach In-House Efforts GreenFlag Profit Recovery Takes Over • Submit claims as normal • Always have proof of timely filing • Month 2, follow up as usual on unpaid or unresponsive claims. • After 60 days, it becomes cost prohibitive with internal follow up. • Utilize the power of GreenFlag Profit Recovery to resolve your past-due claims for only $10.50 / claim. Focus your efforts on the first 45-60 days where the bulk of reimbursement is received…then let GreenFlag take over.

  7. Why GreenFlag Profit Recovery? • GreenFlag’s debtor offices and licenses in all 50 states allow us to use Insurance carrier by-laws typically requiring immediate response to our licensed third party contacts. • With a minimum of 5 touches per claim, our third party demand moves the responsibility for the claim from a clerk to a supervisor, who settles the claim more quickly and without the practice calling the carrier. • Our fixed fee of $10.50 per claim allows you to utilize this unique and cost-effective service on claims as early as 30-45 days past-due and resolve each outstanding claim within 90 days.

  8. As a collection agency, GreenFlag uses state by-laws which imposes timeline and consequence on the carriers, requiring them to resolve your outstanding claim.

  9. Claims You Can Submit: • Commercial Insurance • Managed Care Plans • HMOs • PPOs • Medicare • Workman's Compensation

  10. Remember: • It is not a matter of if insurance will pay, but when insurance will pay. • GreenFlag Profit Recovery reduces your internal costs and lowers response time, which works to reduce the age of your receivables.
