2

Negotiation Period

Federal rules require a 30-day open negotiation window with the insurer. We handle communication and document every exchange, preparing for arbitration if necessary.

3

File for IDR

If negotiations fail, we file the case with a certified IDR entity. We submit a complete position statement, comparator data, and exhibits. We advance fees where needed and bundle claims to lower costs.

4

IDR Decision

The IDR entity chooses between the provider’s offer and the payer’s offer. Typical decisions are issued in 30–90 days. Providers win ~80% of the time, with awards often 2–4× the insurer’s initial payment.

5

Payment Enforcement

Once the decision is final, insurers must pay within 30 business days. We follow through to ensure payment is received.
