    What Our RCM Clients Say

    • Image
      "UHS has already been implemented in other markets for our company, and the feedback was very positive. We avoided the typical delay of evaluating vendors and were implemented in less than 60 days."

      "We first partnered with UHS because they are highly knowledgeable about collections for workers’ comp. The other driver for partnering with UHS is because it reduces our overhead. We are in a high-cost labor market and the ROI has exceeded our expectations."

      "Unlike most of our third-party insurance, workers’ comp still involves a lot of paperwork, which has been a challenge for our staff working remotely. We have enough bandwidth to manage the other Complex Claims in-house."

      "UHS agreed to take on all the follow-up, recovery, and appeals processes for workers’ comp. Essentially, UHS was able to oversee all of the legwork for the workers’ comp collection cycle from start to end. We are getting paid more quickly and have reduced bad debt."

      "A key strength of UHS is their expertise and knowledge in workers’ comp. Workers’ comp is a hard business line for us because it is complicated and difficult to keep up with the payer rules in our state. Employee turnover and satisfaction were becoming an issue for us. UHS now manages workers’ comp, and that works well for us."
