Who are we?

We’re the largest independent healthcare cost management company focused solely on subrogation claims recovery.

What is “subrogation claims recovery”?
It’s a doctrine through which healthcare insurance companies are able to recover the cost of payments they have made to healthcare providers. This money is recovered from other insurers who have the primary responsibility for these benefits.

Because it’s all we do, we can afford to stay at the cutting edge of a vast array of legal requirements, limitations and opportunities which nearly always vary by state and which are constantly in flux. Our management is trained and dedicated to this one specialty; our staff includes lawyers, insurance professionals and healthcare professionals experienced in maximizing the realization of cost recovery opportunities.

A common example:
Joe is involved in a car accident and is taken to a hospital. The hospital sends bills for the cost of Joe’s treatment to his healthcare insurance company. That insurance company pays the bills. In fact, either Joe’s car insurance carrier or the carrier of another party in the accident is responsible for the costs of Joe’s care. Subrogation is the doctrine that supports this recovery; subrogation claims recovery is the process by which this doctrine is enforced.

What does it mean that we’re focused solely on this work?
Companies who do many different types of cost management cannot be as focused on subrogation claims recovery as we are. It is our sole focus, and we are passionate about it. All our staff is trained, experienced and focused in this single core competency.

What does independent mean?
Many subrogation firms are owned by very large insurance companies, and their priorities are to serve their owners, not other clients.

What does largest mean?
We represent HMOs, insurance companies, self-insured corporations, TPAs, PHOs, IPAs, and MSOs that cover over six million lives. No other firm like ours covers nearly that many lives. We recover more dollars and more dollars per life than any other firm like ours.
