Eliot Dear, Counsel — Physician Reimbursement Advocate

By Eliot Dear, Counsel

Eliot Dear, Counsel is a New York attorney focused exclusively on out-of-network reimbursement disputes through attorney-signed Independent Dispute Resolution.

Who He Represents

Eliot Dear works with plastic and reconstructive surgeons, otolaryngologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and emergency physicians — the specialties most exposed to non-par underpayment.

The Economics

Emergency and on-call physicians cannot choose their patients' insurance. Eliot Dear makes the insurer pay a defensible rate for care that was already delivered.

Contingency, Not Retainer

Eliot Dear works on contingency — a percentage of the improvement he wins, nothing on claims he does not move. The incentives are aligned by design.
