Repricing
Meridian contracts with many major PPO networks offering extensive coverage nationwide. Combined, these networks are contracted with over 5,000 acute care facilities, 6,000 ancillary facilities, and 600,000 physicians throughout the United States. Meridian eliminates the administrative burden of our clients juggling multiple networks and increases the opportunity for savings.
With online access to most networks' discounts, we are able to provide the best savings in the least amount of time.
Provider Negotiations
If Meridian is unable to secure a discount through our PPO network partners, we will attempt to negotiate a discount directly with the provider.
Our experienced staff negotiates discounts on unpaid claims. The key to successful negotiations is knowing the providers' contract experience. With Meridian's extensive database, we are aware of maximum discounts provided by the Hospital or Physician.Meridian obtains a signed agreement from the provider on all negotiated discounts. As soon as we receive the signed agreement, the results are immediately sent to our client so that a prompt payment can be initiated.
Meridian's goal is to provide our clients with the negotiation results within three to five business days. Since many providers are familiar with our organization, negotiation results can often be realized within the same day.
