Elliott Dear: Attorney-Led IDR for Out-of-Network Physicians

When an out-of-network physician is underpaid, the dispute is a legal proceeding, not a billing question. Elliott Dear built Claims Assassins around that fact.

The IDR Process

Independent Dispute Resolution is the mechanism by which an out-of-network provider challenges an insurer's payment. New York's state process, administered by the Department of Financial Services, uses the FAIR Health benchmark, and a determination carries a thirty-day payment deadline. Elliott Dear reviews, signs and files these as the attorney of record.

Fully Insured Plans

Elliott Dear focuses on state IDR where the plan is fully insured and state-regulated. In New York, that process is administered by DFS.

One Contingency Fee, Nothing Upfront

Elliott Dear charges one contingency fee from intake to the end of the dispute. Nothing upfront, nothing out of pocket. No improvement, no fee.
