Professional Self Pay Collection Services

EARLY-OUT SELF PAY FOLLOW UP SERVICES

Weber & Associates can manage all aspects of invoicing and account follow up. Services will include the expenses of creating new invoices, address correction services, postage and handling costs, management of insurance information, updating account details, payments processing and account adjustments. We become an extension of our client’s business office, creating collaborative relationships with the patients and enhancing the revenues of our clients.

 

DELINQUENT SELF-PAY RECOVERIES

All work by Weber and Associates in Newbury Park, CA is done strictly contingent upon recovery and there are never any upfront fees or set-up costs. We process all accounts within 48 hours of receipt and supply an electronic acknowledgment back to our client’s email. During the first 48 hours, each account is processed and accounts without prior insurance payments are checked against a national data base to find health insurance. We further check all national changes of address, deceased estate filings, bankruptcy and litigious debtor scrubs as well as a search of cell phone data bases to help put us on the right track.

 All our account representatives are trained with nationally recognized guidelines. All our letters are reviewed to make sure they meet all Federal and State regulations.

Because of the complexities inherent in healthcare, all our representatives are trained to review and understand our client’s notes better preparing them for contact with the former patient. 

 We integrate our proprietary letters with well-timed phone calls to encourage prompt resolution of the bill. All phone representatives’ calls are recorded and can be made available to clients for review. We also provide skip-tracing services for all accounts and asset checks for large balance accounts. 

 Weber and Associates will also provide and recommend legal services on a case-by-case basis. We will advance all court costs and attorney fees for our clients. All legal services are also strictly contingent upon recovery. No Recovery—No Fee.

Credit Reporting is managed by Weber & Associates. We typically delay the credit reporting to allow our representatives to offer another benefit for entering into a payment plan or paying the claim in full. We also do not report those accounts when additional insurance information is provided.


 Workers Compensation Recoveries

Weber and Associates is well-versed in the ever-changing workers compensation laws in California with our founder, Spencer Weinerman, having been involved in workers compensation billing for more than 20 years. We study the new laws and decisions to understand how to effectively manage our client’s portfolio of workers compensation accounts. We also provide our clients with best practices to enhance the return on their workers compensation accounts.

 Our services include requests for reconsideration, filing Second Bill Reviews, filing Independent Bill Reviews, filing liens and making all required appearances at the W.C.A.B. We work with our clients depending on how much or how little a part of the process each client indicates they would like to be involved.

 We have experienced representatives with many contacts and relationships with payers. We challenge PPO discounts that are not properly taken with our extensive knowledge of the workers compensation laws and recent decisions from the W.C.A.B. We also learn what our client’s payer contracts call for and maximize the recovery by choosing the best approach.

Weber and Associates also pays for all lien filings and Second Bill Reviews assuring our clients we are only pursuing accounts with merit. 

 We can go back and review years’ worth of closed accounts to see if there are any underpayment opportunities that can still be pursued. The new California laws do create time constraints going forward so setting up a process for the future is of the upmost importance.

 We review our client’s payer contracts to determine which insurance companies allow for third party recoveries after insurance has paid.

It's not just about Auto Accidents Liens...

Hospitals must also stay complaint with Medicare Secondary Payer Laws…

Medicare Secondary Payer Laws require Hospitals to perform several tasks in order to be complaint with the Medicare Secondary Payer Laws.  It starts in Admitting, using the required Medicare Third Party Questionnaire, continues in the business office with restrictions on which accounts can be billed, when the claims can be billed, and how the claims are billed.  The law also requires facilities to issue copies of all attorney requests and subpoenas for medical records to the Medicare COBC even if the underlying claim has already been billed and paid by Medicare.  Failure to comply can create penalties and fines for Hospitals into the millions of dollars.

Pre-Litigation Services

Our recovery specialists at Weber and Associates in Newbury Park, CA are experienced and relentless in their attempts to get our client’s accounts paid. We have access to numerous databases of information and each account is researched so we know how best to proceed. We integrate letters, phone calls, and emails in a sequenced manner to contact the one who can pay the debt. We thoroughly review our client files so we are prepared for any objection on our contacts with the debtor.

 

All accounts are handled under the premise that if the account cannot be recovered pre-litigation, we will prepare the account for litigation. While we are attempting to resolve the account pre-litigation, we investigate at the same time to see what assets will be available for post-judgment remedies.
