Why MedFi?

MedFi is a pioneer in the international health insurance field. Working with U.S. healthcare providers, international insurers and third party administrators, we were instrumental in the development of national provider networks. We streamlined international patient access, negotiated contractual terms and improved claim adjudication processes for the mutual benefit of all parties. We have a deep, first-hand knowledge of the payment practices and reputations of international insurers. As a result, we enjoy a significant advantage to anticipate and eliminate tactics used by some payers to take unwarranted discounts or avoid payment altogether. We are international healthcare insurance experts.

MedFi's Services:

  • 1. Second Chance Advance - We understand adding MedFi to the revenue cycle team requires your trust and commitment. That is why MedFi’s Collection Guarantee can be the perfect place to start.

We’ll review unpaid or partially paid closed claims for follow-up efficacy and alternative sources of reimbursement, and then get busy collecting any money due. It’s a great way to evaluate the effectiveness of your current set up, get to know MedFi and realize unrecovered revenue in the process. Of course, once you see what we can do we hope you’ll consider engaging MedFi with one or more of the services outlined below.
