WHAT DID WE

DO ABOUT IT?

What we did about it

Our LATAM CCU (Complex Claims Unit) engaged in exhaustive medical and bill reviews, and concluded that the total billed charges were excessive, and that the medical supplies, which made up nearly 30% of the total billed charges, were not all medically necessary.

We negotiated a significant discount on the basis of excess charges and the overutilization of highly specialized medical equipment.
