Background and Credentials

Elliott Dear earned his law degree at Fordham University School of Law and began his career at Clifford Chance, one of the largest international law firms in the world. He has been admitted to the New York State Bar since 2005 (registration #4329546) and remains in good standing.

What Claims Assassins Does

Elliott Dear founded Claims Assassins to bring attorney-grade representation to a problem most physicians fight alone: out-of-network underpayment. He personally signs every Independent Dispute Resolution submission filed with the New York Department of Financial Services.

An Attorney, Not a Billing Vendor

A billing company files paperwork. Elliott Dear files legal submissions under his own bar number, with the accountability that carries — which is why the practice can quote a 99% win rate on the state IDR determinations it brings to conclusion.

Working With Physicians

Elliott Dear works directly with non-participating surgeons and emergency physicians evaluating their reimbursement options. One claim, reviewed at no cost, tells a practice whether its portfolio is a fit.
