Two Fold. First, recent decisions by the Fifth Circuit Court of Federal Appeals has made it clear the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) can regulate the rate and timing of payments of undisputed validity. As a result, Texas health care providers are now entitled to prompt payment of clean claims within the statutory provisions. Thus, as long as the billing department properly submitted Clean Claims to the health insurance carries, substantial penalties can now be recovered for the doctor or medical provider. The amounts due to the medical providers are recovered thru a legal arbitration process. The amount due to the medical provider can total hundreds of thousands, if not millions, for any and all slow payments received by the medical provider in the last four years.

Second, the upfront and speculative cost of retaining a law firm to fight this issue was cost prohibitive in the past. However, due to the fact that we are now accepting these claims under a Contingency Fee Basis, there is no out-of-pocket cost for you. We will advance the expenses of determining how much money you are owed and proving up your case; and we are only reimbursed for these expenses if there is a successful recovery.
