Unified Health Services was founded in 1997 and is based in Memphis, Tennessee.
We exist to create better methods for hospitals and health systems to process work comp claims end to end.
Worker’s compensation programs provide benefits to workers injured on the job. Benefits include payments for medical care associated with treating work related illness or injury. Each state and the District of Columbia has its own program. There are also programs to cover federal employees.
Since work comp programs are designed and administered by the states, work comp programs vary in terms of who is allowed to provide insurance, which injuries or illnesses are compensable, claims administration, treatment guidelines, and benefit levels.
Therefore, normal billing patterns in healthcare cannot be applied to work comp because the nature of processing claims and the payer system is fundamentally different and unique. In the work comp environment there are no eligibility systems, billing is paper based, collections are difficult, and cash application is manual.
Our systems and proprietary methods are designed specifically to accommodate the uniqueness of the work comp payer system and characteristics of the work comp claim.
Healthcare providers across the country rely on UHS to manage their work comp claims.
