$33k Unauthorized Care Costs Eliminated for Employee

Situation

An employee of an Emry client experienced a mental health episode and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital emergency room. The member was later admitted to the hospital for services over 3 days. Emergency room was covered but hospital was out-of-network and billed $35,400 for services.

Service Provided

The Emry bill review determined that the hospital processed an internal pre-authorization for inpatient services and transferred the member. With billing advocate intervention, it was demonstrated that the member was not of sound mind and gave no approval for the transfer.

Savings

Emry ensured that the bill was reprocessed as in-network subject to remaining in-network deductible and coinsurance, saving member $33,000.

Hospital Financial Assistance: Employee Cost Avoidance

After a hospital stay, an employee with a MEC plan and no hospital coverage received an unaffordable bill for $77,000. Using Emry’s financial assistance technology, the employee qualified for and obtained hospital financial aid, which covered 100% of the bill. This intervention saved the employee from substantial medical debt, totaling $77,000 in savings.
