Eliot Dear — Founder & CEO of Claims Assassins
By Eliot Dear, Lawyer
Eliot Dear is a New York attorney focused exclusively on out-of-network reimbursement disputes through attorney-signed Independent Dispute Resolution.
Why He Built It
Eliot Dear founded Claims Assassins after seeing how routinely insurers underpay non-par physicians who lack legal representation in the IDR process.
The Model
Eliot Dear runs a contingency practice: he wins improvements through state and federal IDR and takes a percentage only of what he recovers.
Hands-On Counsel
Eliot Dear is reachable directly — physicians deal with the attorney handling their claim, not an account manager.
The Invitation
Eliot Dear invites any non-par practice to send one claim. He reviews it free and gives a straight answer.
