WHEN SHOULD YOU REFER?

Preferably at the time of the FIRST DENIAL – but certainly whenever the payer says “NO” or when you or your patient have a question

HOW CAN YOUR PATIENTS CONTACT OUR OFFICE??

Our Toll Free telephone number is 1-877-99-APPEAL (1-877-993-7732) and they are invited to call us anytime they have a question about insurance-related matters and most especially when they get denied. They can also contact us through our website – www.wlsappeals.com – and fill out the brief “Contact Us” form or the more detailed “Submit Your Appeal Information” form. Either way the key is to give them the information.

WHAT SHOULD YOU TELL YOUR PATIENT?

We believe you are acting in your patient’s best interests by recommending they contact us when insurance denials or questions arise. Sometimes patients might seem concerned that your program is abandoning them or suddenly doesn’t care because things are more complicated. Reassure them that, just like sending them to a highly qualified professional for their psychological clearance, or wanting them to see the best specialist for their obesity-related co-morbid condition, referring them to our office is absolutely consistent with your program’s desire for them to be in the best hands possible. Our office will work closely with yours so your patient need never feel concerned about your involvement in the process. This is a team effort!

WHY SHOULD YOU REFER YOUR PATIENTS TO US?

It’s simple. Your practice needs you doing other things to generate revenue and patient satisfaction. Appeals are difficult and time-consuming and most programs don’t have the resources or time to devote to doing them well. It’s what we do and more often than not it results in your patient getting approved and your program revenues increasing without adding a dime in overhead.
