ClaimLinx Changes Claims Negotiator

A vital part of ClaimLinx’s claims processing services is that all high dollar claims are sent for review and/or negotiation through a third party.

ClaimLinx recently transitioned this task from Copatient to our new partner, Medical Cost Advocate (MCA). This change has already become effective, with no interruption or change to clients’ claims processing. Please see how a claim is processed for how MCA is involved in the claims process.

We are very happy to be working with MCA. They have more than 10 years of experience in negotiating medical expenses and we are excited to share those savings with you.

Why did my employer purchase a MERP?

Your employer purchased a medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP) because he or she is looking out for your best interests by examining ways to cut costs while still providing you with the same health insurance benefits. Some employers have told us they would not have been able to provide health insurance benefits or would have been forced to severely cut benefits without purchasing a MERP.

What is a MERP?

A medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP) utilizes Section 105 of the tax code, a provision that has been included for more than 50 years. A MERP allows business owners to deduct any portion of a medical expense for its employees. It includes any business with one or more employees, so any sole proprietor is able to take advantage of this code. ClaimLinx can help you find the best way to use a MERP to save money.

Is ClaimLinx an insurance company?

No. ClaimLinx is much more. We’re a health insurance consultant, agency, and third-party administrator for employer-sponsored health insurance plans. ClaimLinx services “you,” the client, not the insurance company. Part of our expertise is in making sure each individual claim has been reviewed for the maximum pay-out allowed. In addition, ClaimLinx acts as an educational resource for employees and their families in order to better educate themselves on the healthcare system.
