Cohen Howard represents out-of-network physicians in helping them recover fair and equitable reimbursement for under-reimbursed claims from insurance payors through the appeals process afforded under a patient’s health insurance plan, as well as pre-litigation demands, arbitration, regulatory agency intervention and litigation as a last resort. Our team of 45 plus employees is comprised of legal and medical professionals with decades of experience in ERISA and state law, commercial insurance, billing, and coding, and federal and state regulatory agencies. Our reputation for successfully handling claims especially reviving claims that our clients have written-off is a direct result of our team's collaborative approached to each and every claim.
Having now spent nearly a decade collecting data, being in the trenches with the out-of-network provider community and seeing the patterns and practices of insurers and the impact they have on physician reimbursements, and patient care, Cohen Howard is the leading law firm in the country that has the in-depth repository of data, knowledge and experience in the out-of-network community, and therefore lends a unique perspective on a very complex . Our clients are surgeons in all disciplines including plastic and reconstructive, orthopedic, thoracic, general, emergency, maxillofacial, neurological, and spine. We pride ourselves on our client service and the time we take to understand our clients' practice, in particular, the nuances of their specialty and the market in which they practice. With this knowledge, we can tailor the most effective strategy for each case.
As a result of our efforts, patients’ balance bills are greatly reduced, if not eliminated in their entirety, and a positive patient-provider relationship is established, where the providers can focus on care and the patients can focus on healing.
