    Out-of-Network Recovery for Surgical Practices

    MedRes helps surgical practices evaluate underpaid out-of-network claims, identify recovery routes, and pursue payer underpayment through appeals, escalation, and IDR where applicable.

    Primary question

    Which claims are worth pursuing, and what recovery route actually applies?

    Why this matters

    High-value claims still need disciplined routing.

    01

    High-dollar procedures can create meaningful underpayment exposure.

    02

    Scheduled OON services require careful eligibility review before IDR is considered.

    03

    Evidence, documentation, and payer history can determine whether recovery is worth pursuing.

    MedRes starts with claim facts, not assumptions.

    A specialty label alone does not determine the right path. We evaluate service context, facility status, plan type, payer behavior, documentation, deadlines, and the economics of the matter before recommending a recovery route.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Can specialty practices use IDR for every out-of-network claim?

    No. Eligibility depends on the claim facts, plan type, service category, facility context, dates, and applicable state or federal process. MedRes screens claims before recommending IDR.

    What if a claim is valuable but not IDR eligible?

    A high-value claim may still justify appeals, payer escalation, contract analysis, or payment adherence review. IDR is one recovery path, not the only path.

    What does MedRes need to start?

    A representative claim sample, payer/payment information, service context, and any denial or explanation-of-benefits documents are enough to begin an initial recovery review.
