Accelerate California Work Comp Claim Closures
With years of experience in lien negotiation, relationships at the WCAB and advanced capabilities in medical bill review, RPM understands the big picture and handles the details. We are not owned by or affiliated with any insurance, TPA or medical management companies, so you never have to worry about conflicts of interest. Our experience in both California claims and medical collections gives us a unique and comprehensive perspective, allowing us to use insider knowledge and tricks of the trade to effectively negotiate with providers and save you money. You can rely on us to achieve outstanding lien resolution results. Contact Resolution-Partners (RPM) today and discover how to easily, affordably take your claims performance to the next level!
Here are three important ways that RPM outperforms other lien resolution providers:
- Lien resolution is our main focus. Unlike many companies that try to be all things to all people, RPM specializes in lien litigation and lien resolution, and nationwide bill review.
- You never pay RPM for the “cost of doing business.” Many companies charge an hourly rate with added charges for photocopies, phone calls and other incidentals – with no monetary incentive to close files. Not us. We charge for results – that’s all. If we don’t settle your lien, you don’t pay a dime.
- We manage the entire lien resolution process – start to finish. We’ll review and appropriately discount the bill, negotiate with providers and represent you at hearings, if necessary. When you work with RPM, lien resolution is effortless.
Beware of the hourly billing lien boondoggle.
Most California lien resolution companies charge clients at an hourly rate. Often, hourly billing leads to file “churning” – a practice of keeping lien files open for numerous conferences and continuances so billing can continue unnecessarily. It can also trigger other questionable and costly billing practices, such as being charged for:
- Cost of doing business expenses like e-mails, phone calls, faxes, photocopying, letters, monthly reports and other correspondence.
- Office visits and photocopying, charging up to 10 cents per copy or copying the entire file when only minimal documentation is needed.
- Unnecessary work, such as calling lien claimants or defense attorneys on claims that were previously resolved to create billable time.
- Unneeded “medical necessity reports” or other inadmissible documents that have no value at the WCAB.
- Lien and/or medical report reviews (by a nurse) that offer no value to the client.
With Resolution-Partners’ expert lien resolution services, charges are based on results.
Clients pay a fee only when the lien is resolved and their fee is paid from the money that is saved. This method of invoicing provides us with an added incentive to negotiate the very best settlement possible.
Here are a few more ways Resolution-Partners saves you money:
- No add-on charges for administrative tasks, such as photocopying, telephone phone calls, faxing, or report reviews.
- No hidden fees or hidden agendas to keep the file open or create billable hours.
- Lowest flat rate available for lien conferences — Unlike other companies, we reduce legal fees and eliminate the billable time incentive to continue or reschedule hearings.
- Two-level bill review that includes manual audit performed by an expert, in addition to software review. This eliminates your up-front bill review fees!
With Resolution-Partners, you only pay when the lien is settled! Our proactive, cost-conscious practices help control costs, close work comp claims and prevent future loss development. It’s a win-win situation that guards your bottom line.
