2 Dangerous drugs, devices and toxic substances could be costing you millions. Healthcare payers and funds typically pursue reimbursement of readily identifiable subrogation matters, including automobile and premises liability claims. However, most are missing opportunities to recover expenses paid due to illness or injury from dangerous pharmaceuticals, defective medical devices or harmful toxic substances. These lost opportunities could add up to millions of dollars in lost recovery opportunities. Healthcare Recovery Solutions (HRS) is the first and only organization to offer powerful, patented technology for identifying these specialized claims. Our analytics engine reviews medical claims and prescription data to identify previously undetected high-cost opportunities for subrogation and reimbursement for healthcare payers and funds.
