HHC's Case Managers (CM) use a combination of published and proprietary databases built over the 20 years HHC has been negotiating claims. They also use information from our prior negotiations with the provider.
Employing these tools and the relationship HHC had previously established with the provider, the CM secured a signed agreement from the provider for a 67.3% reduction in the bill.
