HELPING PAYERS FIGHT MEDICAL BILLING FRAUD AND EXCESS COSTS

BillChek®

BillChek® is grounded in a fusion of human and artificial intelligence.

The Qmedtrix algorithm-based methodology calculates appropriate facility and ancillary medical payments using data from public and private sources. BillChek® is available for out-of-network workers’ compensation and automotive medical claims bills.

To identify savings opportunities and fairly reimburse providers, Qmedtrix reviews each state’s specific statutes, regulations and case law, analyzing data for changes in billing patterns and trends.

BillChek® identifies and corrects:

• Unbundling – separate billing-related services

• Upcoding – using “trauma” or “with complications” to exempt charges from fee schedules

• Duplicate charges, particularly when billed under separate codes

• Excessive hospital charges triggering outlier or stop-loss thresholds

• Fragmented charges

• Medically-unlikely procedures

• Unreasonable procedure charges

BillChek® recommendations are supported by Qmedtrix-led dispute resolution team. Provider inquiries, reconsiderations and dispute resolution support services can be included in the cost of the services, depending on agreement terms.

The Qmedtrix methodology incorporates historical data, a physician-based expert knowledge of medical procedures and billing practices, and extensive legal and regulatory due-diligence to deliver accurate and reasonable payment recommendations.

To talk to a Qmedtrix representative, please contact us at [email protected].
