Can I do this myself?

At Advocare Medical Claim Advocates LLC, we believe everyone can and should advocate for themselves when it comes to medical and hospital bills. Medical claims should be clearly understood, line item by line item. If you try it on your own and find it more of a challenge than expected, Advocare Medical Claim Advocates LLC can come in to assist at any point in the process. We will organize all the paperwork, analyze the situation and offer individual strategies for your particular situation. The challenges you may come across include:

• Understanding medical terminology and the complexity of your healthcare policy as outlined in your individual benefit schedules.
• Identifying hidden problems within your medical bills and hospital bills.
• Having the time and energy it takes to work through the system.
• Staying organized.

If you are willing to give it a try on your own, you might want to read a helpful reference article.

The workbook, Medical Bill Workbook, developed by Medical Billing Advocates of America attempts to assist individuals in understanding the medical billing maze.

 

My paperwork is so unorganized and I am not sure if I have copies of all my medical bills. Can you still help me?

As long as you have the dates of services and the names of the providers, we can order itemized statements for you. We will get a printout of your history of medical visits from the insurance company and begin to tie it all together.

How many past years can your review address?

Usually, about two years is the typical time frame. However, we can go back further if monies are still owed on outstanding bills and these bills are still considered open, active, and current.

What are the errors usually found on provider and hospital bills?

There can be several issues including multiple billings, unbundled charges, charges that were not documented, non-billable charges, incorrect diagnosis and procedure codes, unwarranted denials by insurance companies, insurance paid at incorrect percentages, facilities not deducting the appropriate adjustments and sometimes...it is just human error.
