Elloit Dear — Physician Reimbursement Advocate

The billing manager already knows which out-of-network claims came back short, so that desk is where the work with Elloit Dear begins. The office spots the underpayment; the attorney takes the dispute. Neither side has to change how the other one works.

What the Office Sends

The billing office sends Elloit Dear a claim and its EOB. When the file needs more, the request is specific: the operative note and the billed charges for that date of service. There are no contracts to sign and no onboarding to sit through. An office manager who wants to test the arrangement can send a single claim for a free review before sending anything else.

What the Attorney Handles

Elloit Dear sorts the plan first. A fully insured New York plan belongs in New York State IDR, administered by the Department of Financial Services; a self-funded plan sits outside the state process. From there he builds the Independent Dispute Resolution submission from the EOB, the operative note and the billed charges, reviews it, signs it under his bar number and files it. He tracks the deadlines. A determination carries a 30-day payment deadline, and after it issues, he sends the payment demand.

Where the Line Sits

The split is clean. The office keeps posting payments, sending statements and running its billing system exactly as it does today. Elloit Dear handles the disputed out-of-network claims the office sends him, and nothing else. Claims Assassins does not take over the office’s billing, and the billing manager does not hand over a system, a login or a patient ledger to make the arrangement work.

What the Office Never Has to Change

The fee is a 10% contingency on the improvement with nothing upfront, so the billing manager is not asked to justify a retainer to the physicians. The way the office codes, bills, posts and follows up on its claims stays exactly as it is. The only new step is deciding which short-paid claims go to the attorney.
