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.

This is a seamless process we provide for all our clients to make sure all claims are filed correctly and that our clients are receiving the maximum savings possible.

National Business Consultant, Tom Quigley, played in the tournament along with a local client and Benefits Consultants Andrew Cutter and Ken Kavensky.

As a hole sponsor, the Claimlinx staff also enjoyed playing with local celebrity and professional poker player Bill Kohler.

Proceeds from the event went towards the Jovante Woods Foundation to help fund research for asthma and raise awareness about the disease in the community.

Cincinnati Bengals star fullback Ickey Woods started the foundation after his son died at 16 years old from complications following an asthma attack.

It’s estimated about 6.8 million children and 18.7 million adults in America have asthma. It also accounts for 1.8 million visits to the emergency room each year, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

The foundation aims to fund research to find ways to better manage or cure the disease. A primary focus is also to bring more attention to its dangers, as asthma attacks can be fatal without the proper care or treatment.

Donate to the Jovante Woods Foundation now to help the cause.

Starting March 19, ClaimLinx’s new podcast, Cutting Edge Benefits, will be putting traditional group health insurance on the chopping block. During the show, Tom Quigley, National Business Consultant at ClaimLinx, will be covering everything business owners should know when purchasing health insurance.

Whether informing listeners the true reason insurance agents aren’t concerned when rates go up or breaking down the Affordable Care Act’s actual requirements, ClaimLinx has real, honest answers on what is going on in the health care industry.

This week’s episode will be focused on breaking down the difference between insurance and benefits, an important foundational concept for the ClaimLinx solution. For most business owners when buying health insurance, they receive a group plan and quote without knowing a lot about what it truly includes.
