Challenges We Solve

Payer relationships determine whether you get paid on time and in full. Most behavioral health practices lack the leverage and expertise to manage these relationships effectively.

Payment Disputes Drain Your Team's Time

Denied claims, downcoded services, inappropriate recoupments — fighting with payers is a constant battle. Your staff spends hours on phone calls that go nowhere while revenue sits in limbo.

How Prosperity Solves This

We handle the entire dispute process — from initial appeals to executive escalations. We know which arguments work with each payer, who to contact when standard channels fail, and how to get issues resolved quickly.

Payers Delay and Underpay Without Consequences

Payers know most providers won't push back on slow payments or questionable denials. They delay, downcode, and recoup knowing you'll likely write it off rather than fight.

How Prosperity Solves This

We track every claim and payment against contract terms, identify patterns of underpayment or delay, and escalate systematically. Payers respond differently when they know someone is watching and willing to push back with data.

You Lack Leverage in Payer Negotiations

When issues arise, payers hold the cards. You need them more than they need you, and they know it. Getting anyone to respond becomes a full-time job.

How Prosperity Solves This

We manage relationships with hundreds of payers across our client base. That volume gives us leverage individual practices don’t have. We know the right people to contact and how to escalate issues that aren’t getting resolved through normal channels.

FAQs

How do you handle payers that just won’t respond?

We have established relationships and escalation paths with most major payers. When standard channels fail, we escalate to provider relations managers, regional directors, or executive contacts who can actually resolve issues.

Can you help with Medicaid managed care organizations?

Yes. Medicaid MCOs have their own relationship dynamics and dispute processes. We work with them regularly and know how to navigate their specific requirements and escalation procedures.

What happens if a payer threatens to terminate our contract?

We assess whether the threat has merit, help you understand your options, and develop a response strategy. Sometimes the right move is negotiation, sometimes it's preparing to exit the network. We help you make informed decisions.

Do you handle prior authorization denials?

Yes. Authorization denials are a major source of lost revenue for behavioral health providers. We appeal inappropriate denials and work with payers to streamline authorization processes that create unnecessary friction.

How quickly can you resolve payment disputes?

Resolution timelines vary by payer and issue complexity. Simple claim corrections might resolve in days, while complex appeals can take weeks or months. We track all disputes and escalate when resolution stalls.
