Overview
US Beacon (USB) conducts compliance analysis review of medical claims for corporate and government health care and workers compensation plans. The compliance review identifies ineligible charges along with fraud, waste and abuse issues that the plan’s TPA and/or carriers are not equipped to identify. The results save plans millions of dollars and provides their employees with a better health benefit at a much lower cost. On average, USB finds over 30% ineligible claims and savings on 99% of the claims they review. In many cases USB finds savings that exceed 80%. The effect to the plan’s total healthcare expenditures average 6% to 10% savings. There is no charge unless USB saves the plan money. USB helps provide the plan managers, trustees and administrators with transparency and control of their healthcare expenditures.
Benefits- Mitigate liability for health plan managers, trustees and administrators: ERISA is a federal law that sets standards for non-government private health plans to protect individuals participating in these plans (employees/members). Plan managers, trustees and administrator have the fiduciary responsibility, obligation and liability to protect their members regardless of what their third-party payers do. Employees, former employees and stockholders can and do sue health plan administrators, managers and trustees for breach of fiduciary duty. US Beacon works for the managers, trustee, administrators and employees/members to conduct compliance analysis review of medical claims $10,000. or higher. The compliance analysis review helps protect government and private plan administrators, managers and trustees from being accused of not protecting their employees and breach of fiduciary duty.
