TPA & Out-of-Network Commercial Negotiations
Service Overview
Structured TPA and out-of-network commercial negotiation support for providers: plan mapping, payment-methodology review, evidence development, counteroffers, and documented follow-up.
Operational Scope & Dispute Framework
Millennova Legal supports healthcare providers and revenue-cycle teams with structured commercial negotiations for out-of-network claims administered by third-party administrators, insurers, and repricing vendors. We identify the actual plan and decision-maker, separate No Surprises Act-eligible claims from ordinary commercial claims, reconcile the payment methodology against the plan and remittance, and prepare claim-specific evidence and counteroffers. The service is operational and evidence-based: it does not promise a particular rate, replace plan appeals, or claim access to proprietary payer formulas.
Structured Service Components
Plan, TPA & Authority Mapping
We map the employer plan, funding arrangement, claims administrator, insurer, network or repricing vendor, and the party authorized to evaluate a commercial counteroffer.
Key Deliverables:
- •Self-funded versus fully insured plan intake worksheet
- •Administrator, network and repricer relationship map
- •Correct negotiation, appeal and escalation contacts
Payment Methodology Review
We analyze the explanation of benefits, coding, plan references, and disclosed pricing rationale without assuming that a benchmark or repricer recommendation is the governing payment obligation.
Key Deliverables:
- •Line-level payment and adjustment reconciliation
- •Methodology and plan-language request list
- •Benchmark limitations and data-gap summary
Commercial Counteroffer Preparation
We build an indexed, claim-specific negotiation package using contract documents, clinical complexity, service context, coding support, geographic evidence, and relevant commercial pricing data.
Key Deliverables:
- •Documented opening position and settlement authority matrix
- •Evidence-indexed counteroffer package
- •Call, email and offer history log
Data iSight Review Support
When remittance materials identify Data iSight, we review the available claim explanation, distinguish facility and practitioner methodology statements, and prepare a focused request or counteroffer without speculating about undisclosed calculations.
Key Deliverables:
- •Data iSight claim-explanation review
- •Facility or practitioner evidence checklist
- •Appeal and negotiation follow-up record
