Northwestern & ERISA Recovery Partner To Recover Millions

Winning With ERISA

ERISA Recovery was tasked with appealing Northwestern’s aged complex claims going back 6 years with our Federal Appeals Process. Our team utilized our proprietary data warehouse and analytics to identify potential opportunities and uncovered revenues quickly. Within 30 days we started winning for Northwestern Medical and recovered denials exceeding $33.8 million dollars to date with an additional $11 million claims in process. It has been a pleasure to partner with Northwestern who has been a leader in the industry for over 50 years.

To date, ERISA Recovery is receiving consistent reporting and advances into other hospitals in the Northwestern system which will ensure revenues continue to grow off their written-off claims.

“Northwestern Memorial Healthcare has been working with ERISA Recovery with excellent results. They are experts in complex claim resolution and have helped us recover payments for previously denied claims.” -- John A. Orsini, CPA Sr. Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Northwestern Memorial Healthcare
