Maldonado Medical LLC, a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider servicing the southwestern United States, has formed a strategic alliance with American National Medical Management (ANMM), a patients' claims management group that specializes in getting claims compensated in a timely manner with a proprietary process that enforces the legal terms of a patients health insurance policy.
"Over the last 10 years there has been a shocking increase in the number of denied, underpaid patients' health insurance claims that are supposed to be paid to physicians for procedures that were authorized and completed," said Brandon Maxon Maldonado, President of Maldonado Medical. "This creates an extremely difficult situation for both the physicians and the patients." These partially or fully denied claims take an enormous toll on the physicians and their practices, which leads to a dramatic increase in the costs to facilitate even the smallest claims.
The comprehensive claims facilitation process uses an extensive class action database where the health insurance industry has already agreed to terms and conditions in paying claims as a result of the class action settlement, but the patients and physicians are not aware of the settlement details and terms the health insurance companies have already agreed to.
With health care reform at the forefront of the national political stage, this strategic alliance with ANMM aims to positively impact patient's claims reimbursement to physicians so that a doctor can provide quality care and not worry about if they are going to get paid.
