Claims Assistance Professionals advocate on your behalf.

A Claims Assistant Professional, sometimes called CAP for short, can help you reduce and save on medical and hospital bills by finding errors in your bill, assist with negotiating or dispute the charges on your bill, and they can help you dealing with your health insurance company by getting them to pay for expenses that they initially refused to pay. The Alliance of Claims Assistant Professionals can help you with finding a CAP or medical billing advocate near you. While a CAP is not free, and they will charge you for their services (maybe on a contingency basis), they can save you thousands of dollars on your hospital or medical bills.

Claims Assistant Professionals are health care professionals who have a background in medical billing, health insurance, law, or health care in general. Many are also specialists who can negotiate with your health insurer to appeal coverage denials, they can dispute the charges on your bill, find billing errors, and generally work on your behalf to get you lower fees. The hundreds or thousands you could have in medical bills makes the CAP service worthwhile, in particular many will only charge you if they save you money.

If you need to deal with the expensive health care system, contact a Claims Assistance Professional to learn about their services. The National Alliance of Claims Assistance Professionals can be reached at (512) 394-0008.
