Knowledge is the payment.
Faced with outstanding claims for goods and services, hospitals across the country are increasingly using Delinquent payers for payment as a troop reaction to the crisis payment and adopt an eruption of the implementation of new laws, by the taxpayer to pay claims under strict time or face stiff sanctions. To take advantage of the protection of this law, providers must be aware of statutes of the prompt payment in countries where they maintain in which their patients live and where their payers. With the announcement of their rights and obligations under these laws, suppliers may invite the payment scheme proactively to avoid excess payment without legal recourse is excluded.
Hospitals waiting an average of 62.8 Tone payable during the third quarter of 2000, after the hospital Accounts Receivable Analysis. Many hospitals face further delay, whether the payment of health plans. A survey by the California Health Care Association in 2000 that its 450 members was due almost $ 1 billion for claims of more than 60 Tone past because of health plans.
These delays have caused some suppliers, litigation to collect overdue. Last year, for example, 24 hospitals in New York cites Aetna U.S. Healthcare, that insurers have had to invite the State violates payment and other laws. Catholic Health Care West continued Blue Cross of California for $ 50 million, because of unfair and fraudulent practices in connection with late payment, and West Tennessee Health Care System Access MedPlus sued for $ 3.5 million of outstanding invoices. Similar complaints were by or on behalf of doctors, however, conduct a process is imperfect remedy for an ISP to a request for payment because it is expensive and lengthy.
Fortunately, a country increasingly stringent on the rapid introduction of payment claims payers. For example, the State of New York has been charged in 1997, clearly visible from a confrontation between government consumer protection legislation with a health plan on an order book claims, over $ 230 million.
