Creditors have better memories than debtors.

— Benjamin Franklin

How would your business change if your patients

suddenly “remembered” to pay

what they owed you?

Traditional Approach

Most companies take a two step traditional approach:

STEP ONE: In-House Efforts

STEP TWO: Percentage

Collection Agencies

1 2

Page 11: Medical Insurance Resolution & Patient Responsibility Services

11

Traditional Approach

STEP ONE: In-House EffortsYou mail invoices out in a timely manner. The second notice goes out 30 days later.

Then what?Chasing after accounts… hours on the phone tracking down patients… unsuccessful efforts continue 90, 120 even 160 days.

Chances of recovery get slimmer and slimmer.

Page 12: Medical Insurance Resolution & Patient Responsibility Services

12

In fact, at 12 months, only 1 in 100 patients

will pay you!

Page 13: Medical Insurance Resolution & Patient Responsibility Services

13

Traditional Approach

STEP TWO: Percentage Collection Agency

You submit delinquent accounts to a percentage collection agency.They keep 30 to 50% of what they recover and eventually you receive some money.

You’ve sacrificed a huge percentage of your profits.

Profits that are rightfully yours.

Page 14: Medical Insurance Resolution & Patient Responsibility Services

14

Traditional Approach

How’s a traditional approach working for you?

• Are you satisfied that your staff spends so much of its time on delinquent accounts that won’t be paid?

• Are you satisfied paying a percentage collection agency 30 to 50% of the money that is rightfully yours?

• Are you satisfied with the ROI you’re getting on collection of past due accounts?

you show them the solutions, they

will be moved to act. — Bill Gates

GreenFlag Insurance Resolution

Tired of Insurance company stall tactics delaying your cash flow?Transworld Systems is the leader in providing medical and dental practices with better tools for recovering slow paying accounts and expediting reimbursement from insurance companies.Our proven third party demands reprioritize your claims, resulting in swifter, more accurate resolution.

Page 31: Medical Insurance Resolution & Patient Responsibility Services

Why GreenFlag Works

Insurance companies will respond sooner to a third party. If a collection agency demand citing specifics came to your office, would a staffer handle it or would a supervisor? It is no different at a claims office and resolution speeds up dramatically when a supervisor gets involved.

State statutes are specific as to the time and manner of violations for not responding with a payment or explanation. We will cite a specific state statute and number that may have been violated.

Local impact. With over 100 offices nationwide, insurance carriers are contacted by a local TSI office – giving you and your staff third party clout with local impact.

All pertinent claim information on each demand as well as instructions to pay you directly.
