Contracting Services for Hospitals

Addressing Unpaid Medical Bills

Hospitals often experience significant financial losses due to patients who receive care but lack the means to pay. If Covered California and Medi-Cal write-offs are impacting your bottom line, Medi-Cal Regulation Specialists (M.R.S.) Hospital Contracting Services offer a reliable solution. Our expert team reduces your facility's write-offs while minimizing the time your staff spends on Indigent and Medi-Cal processing.

Why Hospitals Face Write-Offs

Many unpaid hospital bills result from patients failing to complete the Medi-Cal application process within the required 30-day window. Additional challenges include:

Lack of proper guidance upon hospital discharge
Incorrect or insufficient information from County Eligibility Workers
Patients mistakenly believing they do not qualify
Fear of misrepresenting financial details
Patient incapacitation or death before application completion

These barriers often lead to unnecessary write-offs. M.R.S. provides the expert intervention needed to secure financial reimbursement while ensuring patients receive the benefits they qualify for.

How M.R.S. Can Help

M.R.S. works directly with your hospital to establish an efficient system for patient eligibility processing. Our representatives work on-site or remotely, providing:

Comprehensive Application Assistance – We complete the Medi-Cal applications on behalf of patients
Early Patient Contact – Engaging with patients before hospital discharge to initiate the application process
Expert Coordination – Handling all paperwork, correspondence, and follow-up with DHS Eligibility Workers
Approval Commitment – Ensuring applications are completed correctly, preventing unnecessary denials

Unlike Outstation Eligibility Workers, who often lack follow-through, M.R.S. stays engaged until applications are successfully approved.

Proven Success in Medi-Cal Approvals

Our contracting services have secured approvals for numerous cases where hospitals would have otherwise absorbed the costs. Here are two real-life examples:

Case 1: Emergency Surgery Denied Due to Asset Limits

A hospital patient required urgent brain tumor surgery at Stanford Medical Center but lacked insurance. His Medi-Cal application was initially denied due to assets.

M.R.S. worked with his family and repositioned assets to ensure eligibility.
Stanford Medical Center, recognizing our expertise, proceeded with surgery knowing approval was imminent.
The patient received life-saving treatment while avoiding catastrophic financial consequences.

Case 2: Property Issues Delayed Approval

A leg amputation patient in need of medication and long-term care was denied Medi-Cal due to a property issue. With no Power of Attorney in place, his family struggled to navigate the system.

M.R.S. challenged the county's decision, citing regulation #50402 ("unavailability of property due to incapacitation").
After direct intervention with the Medi-Cal Property Analyst of the State of California, the county approved full benefits retroactive to the original application date.
This ensured his hospital bills were covered, significantly reducing financial losses for the facility.
