The problem

A denied claim is not a billing problem. It is a legal one.

Payors deny, delay and underpay because the cost of fighting back usually exceeds the value of any single claim. Your billing team appeals, the appeal is denied, and the write-off becomes routine.

Representation changes that calculation. When a provider is represented by counsel who litigates these disputes, the conversation with the payor is a different conversation.

01

Medical necessity and level-of-care denials

Care you provided, second-guessed after the fact by a reviewer who never saw the patient.

02

Underpaid and downcoded claims

Reimbursement that does not match the contracted rate, absorbed quietly as an adjustment.

03

Out-of-network reimbursement disputes

Usual-and-customary calculations that bear little resemblance to the cost of care.

04

Retroactive audits and recoupments

Payment clawed back months or years later, often against the terms of the contract.

What we do

Focused entirely on provider-side reimbursement

Every matter this firm handles involves a Texas healthcare provider trying to collect what it is owed.

Who you work with

A small firm, by design

Your matter is handled by the attorneys whose names are on the door — not passed down to someone you have never met.
