HERTZMARK, CREAN & LAHEY, LLP
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
(203) 753-3374
One of our key areas of practice is creditor's rights. We aggressively pursue the collection of account receivables for a wide variety of clients ranging from private practice physician offices to major state hospitals to national student loan companies. Our main area of concentration in creditor's rights is the collection of debt owed to medical facilities including hospitals and nursing homes. We understand the financial pressure that medical facilities face between private insurance/governmental reimbursement rates and the continuing increased cost of delivering quality medical service. Now, more than ever, it is imperative for these facilities to recover account receivables in a timely and cost-effective way. We have the technology to accept account receivables in electronic and confidential format and to issue a demand letter to the debtor within hours of turnover of the account. We bring suit both in the small claims and Superior Court sessions in almost all Connecticut judicial districts. We have an experienced staff of attorneys who are familiar with private insurance billing, reimbursement and denials; Medicaid and Medicare regulations concerning eligibility and reimbursement; financial assistance guidelines, third party defense claims; joint spousal liability and abandonment/separation claims, and disparate billing claims. Once judgment is obtained, we have a dedicated and experienced staff working with the direction of our attorneys to satisfy the judgment terms through various post-judgment procedures.
Aside from our medical clientele, we also represent many national student loan companies, home improvement contractors, and many large and small businesses in the legal collection of their account receivables. We are able to generate and can electronically transmit remittance reports directly to the client.
