Claim Processing Evaluation
While time is of the essence, plans need to ensure claims are processed in accordance with the terms of the plan document. To compliment a clients’ in-house quality assurance process, The Phia Group will review all plan documents with a focus towards claims processing. If claims are pending or denied, we determine what additional materials are needed to properly process claims. Our ability to understand the differences in exclusion, coordination of benefits, and eligibility provisions are invaluable when making claim processing decisions.
Stop Loss Claim Analysis
The claims process can only run efficiently when every organization involved in the process works together. The Phia Group can facilitate this process to ensure a smooth transition by obtaining and supplying necessary facts, reports, documentation, and answers related to a particular claim. By providing this service, reinsurance issues are resolved with an effective, timely, and proper flow of information.
Plan Administration Review and Defense
Too often are Plan Administrators persecuted for processing claims in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan document or policy. Plan Administrators frequently find themselves defending their interpretation of the facts and application of the plan terms against appeals and complaints. The Phia Group can help, by advising on plan interpretation and defense of administrative decision-making.
Dispute Resolution
In the process of administering a benefit plan, clients will sometimes become involved in disputes with third parties regarding a range of issues. The Phia Group’s attorneys will assist clients in third party negotiations and secure conflict free relationships, as well as respond to provider complaints, handle balance billing issues, and manage third party conflicts. Whether it is by drafting correspondence for the administrator’s use, communicating with third parties on the administrator’s behalf, or even assisting in the defense of the administrator in Court, The Phia Group is here to help.
