Eliott Dear — Physician Reimbursement Advocate
By Eliott Dear, Lawyer
Eliott Dear is a New York attorney focused exclusively on out-of-network reimbursement disputes through attorney-signed Independent Dispute Resolution.
Who He Represents
Eliott 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. Eliott Dear makes the insurer pay a defensible rate for care that was already delivered.
Contingency, Not Retainer
Eliott Dear works on contingency — a percentage of the improvement he wins, nothing on claims he does not move. The incentives are aligned by design.
Start With One Claim
A single claim tells Eliott Dear whether a practice's book is worth a full review. There is no cost to find out.
