Tower focuses on the settlement of claims as we deliver measurably better Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) compliance. We identify cost drivers and other barriers to closing claims, recommend and implement clinical interventions, and benchmark our performance against CMS responses. Leveraging years of metrics we can identify new trends, challenge CMS and improve internal processes, delivering measurably better care, cost and compliance.
By-the-book MSP compliance need not be sacrificed for cost-effective and CMS-approved Medicare Set-Asides (MSAs). MSAs are prepared with an eye to not allowing a cent more than CMS will require for approval. Then, at no extra charge, Tower’s Physician Follow-up service contacts the treating physician(s) to clarify and confirm ongoing and future medical care. The results are quick CMS MSA approval and claim closure.
Tower’s commitment is to provide MSP compliance solutions that settle claims. Throughout our website you’ll see key performance indicators that measure performance, manage improvements, and optimize outcomes. You’ll also see specific case studies that demonstrate the successes achieved with MSAs, conditional payment negotiations, physician follow up, and clinical interventions, as well as what our clients have to say about working with Tower.
