What makes Toledo denial management & appeals different from a national billing company?
Toledo billing runs on Ohio payers — Medicare and Medicare Advantage, Ohio Medicaid managed care (CareSource, Buckeye Health Plan, Molina Healthcare of Ohio, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Humana Healthy Horizons), Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Ohio), and Texas Medicaid managed care — and on the specialties concentrated around Toledo Hospital / Cherry Street medical corridor (Old West End / ProMedica Toledo Hospital campus).
