Learn How a Settlement Recovery Service Can Help You and Your Organization

Countless businesses and healthcare organizations miss out on their portion of available settlement proceeds each year. On average, only about 20% of eligible entities collect their share of any given settlement fund. In many cases, the proceeds represent a significant amount that is added right to your bottom line. While settlements vary, one constant is that a claim must be submitted in order to collect any money. This is where a Settlement Recovery Service can help.

Settlements come in many forms and cover a variety of issues. Frequently seen types of settlements include:

• Healthcare (e.g. insurance claims were not paid correctly)
• Product anti-competition (manufacturers engaged in antitrust, price-fixing, etc.)
• Pharmaceutical (e.g. an organization overpaid for drugs purchased on behalf of its employees)
• Financial (e.g. merchants overpaid credit card interchange fees, financial markets were manipulated by large banks)

A Settlement Recovery Service focuses on the following in order to ensure that your organization can take advantage of these unique opportunities that result from class actions:

• First, the service includes searching for settlement opportunities applicable to your organization. This relieves you from having to pay any attention to legal notifications that you may receive related to settlements, and more importantly, wondering if you missed any notices.
• Provides guidance and assistance in retrieving the applicable documentation and information for any given settlement opportunity.
• Prepares any required forms and ensures an accurate and timely submission of your claims.
• Coordination with settlement administrators to reconcile and distribute the appropriate recovery under the terms of the settlements. A settlement administrator is the entity appointed for a settlement that reviews, approves, and distributes payments of settlement claims.

Healthcare organizations are amongst the greatest beneficiaries of assistance with class action settlement claims, because they are eligible for a multitude of settlements and settlement types. Healthcare settlements are, of course, relevant and can be very profitable, depending on volume and access to data. Other settlements can also be profitable for healthcare organizations, and often require no more effort from your staff.
