CollectionPro Highlights Complete IDR Support for Hospitals Facing Complex Out-of-Network Facility Claims
Sep 29, 2026
Hospital-focused services connect OON claim review, payer negotiation, Federal IDR support and post-determination payment follow-up
New York City, United States, September 29, 2026 -- CollectionPro Services LLC today highlighted its comprehensive out-of-network revenue recovery services for hospital facilities with underpaid or denied claims. The company helps hospitals assess disputed facility payments, determine whether claims qualify for the federal Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process, negotiate with payers, prepare and manage eligible disputes, and pursue payment after a determination.
For hospital finance leaders, an out-of-network claim can remain unresolved even after a payer has issued an initial payment. The facility may need to establish whether the claim was processed correctly, understand the payer’s stated reason for its payment decision, gather records supporting the amount in dispute, and act within the applicable negotiation or filing deadlines. CollectionPro’s services are designed to bring those tasks into a single recovery process for the facility’s receivable. The review also helps teams identify accounts requiring immediate attention before an appeal or dispute deadline closes.
IDR Support
CollectionPro’s approach calls for a clear record of what the hospital billed, what the payer paid, and why the remaining balance is disputed. The company reviews the account before selecting a recovery route, because a claim correction, payer appeal, direct negotiation, or federal IDR case may each be appropriate under different circumstances.
“A hospital should be able to see exactly why an out-of-network facility claim was underpaid and what can be done next,” said David Nissanoff, the spokesperson of CollectionPro. “Our team handles the work from claim evaluation and payer negotiation through an eligible IDR case and follow-up on the award. The goal is to turn a disputed balance into a resolved account.”
CollectionPro’s hospital-focused review begins with the facility claim and its remittance. The team examines the services billed, payer payment or denial, available clinical and claim documentation, prior correspondence, and any unresolved accounts receivable activity. It identifies the facility as the billing party and keeps its claim separate from professional claims submitted by physicians or other clinicians involved in the same encounter.
That distinction can be particularly important in emergency care. A hospital’s facility charge and the professional charges of an emergency physician, anesthesiologist, or other clinician may be associated with one episode of care but represent separate payment disputes. CollectionPro evaluates the hospital’s own claim, supporting documentation, and available recovery options rather than treating all related balances as one case.
When an eligible facility claim falls within federal IDR, CollectionPro supports the process from the outset. Its specialists assess the claim and the applicable dispute pathway, review payer information, and manage the required 30-business-day open negotiation period. If negotiation does not resolve the payment amount, the team helps prepare the IDR initiation, organize relevant evidence, manage case communications, and track the dispute through the certified IDR entity’s determination. That coordination helps the hospital keep its payment position, clinical support, and filing record together throughout the case.
Evidence preparation is a central part of that service. Depending on the facts and applicable rules, documentation may address the clinical circumstances of the encounter, patient acuity, case complexity, facility characteristics, and other permitted information relevant to the payment offers. CollectionPro works with the hospital’s records and claim details to present a consistent account of the disputed facility payment.
The company also advances applicable federal administrative and IDR entity fees under its service arrangement for many specialties. This support allows hospital teams to discuss the costs and responsibilities of a potential dispute as part of the engagement instead of treating filing logistics as an afterthought.
An IDR award is not the end of the recovery process. CollectionPro tracks the payer’s payment following a determination, follows up on unresolved amounts, and provides reporting on the status of the account. That post-award work is intended to help hospitals establish whether an award has resulted in payment and whether the facility receivable can be reconciled and closed. It also gives the finance team a way to distinguish a successful determination from money actually received, an important difference when forecasting collections and deciding which balances still need payer attention.
CollectionPro also supports hospitals when federal IDR is unavailable. Not every out-of-network facility claim qualifies: the service, coverage, network circumstances, and applicable state payment rules all matter. A disputed claim may instead call for payer follow-up, an available appeal, or another collection route. By reviewing eligibility before filing, the company helps facilities direct their effort toward the process that applies to the account.
This approach is particularly relevant to hospitals managing a mix of emergency claims, aging out-of-network receivables, and multiple commercial payers. Each account may be at a different stage: awaiting an initial response, eligible for open negotiation, approaching an IDR filing window, pending a determination, or awaiting payment after an award. CollectionPro says its customized reporting helps hospital teams see where each claim stands and what action remains.
CollectionPro’s announcement places the emphasis on the full life of a facility claim. Its work begins with understanding the payer’s response and continues through the appropriate dispute or recovery route until the payment outcome is documented. For hospitals, that means IDR support is connected to the original underpayment and the final collection, rather than handled as a separate filing task. The company invites facilities to bring forward both recent disputes and older unresolved accounts for an assessment of the options still available.

Samsung expects its foundry customers to quadruple by 2029
Samsung Electronics said Tuesday that the number of customers for its foundry business could grow roughly fourfold by 2029 compared to 2017. "The number of customers has increased about threefold from when the foundry business was first established as an independent unit in 2017," Noh Mi-jung, a senior vice president at Samsung's foundry business, said during Korea Premium Week 2026. "We expect the customer number to grow about fourfold by 2029," she said. Samsung's foundry business plans to diversify its portfolio, which is currently focused on mobile products, toward artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). HPC accounted for just 5 percent of the foundry business in 2017 but has since risen to 28 percent. The company expects the share to reach 66 percent by 2029. "By 2029, we expect HPC customers to account for more than half of our customer base, while HPC will also account for well over half of our sales," the executive said. Samsung aims to begin mass production of its third-generation 2-nanometer process in 2028, followed by mass production of its 1.4-nanome
Trade barriers still bog down K-food firms: lobby group head
Korean food manufacturers, despite K-food’s growing presence in global markets, continue to face hurdles from overseas trade barriers that constrain further export growth, according to the head of the country’s major food industry lobby group, Tuesday. Park Jin-sun, chairman of the Korea Food Industry Association (KFIA), said difficulties faced by the group’s member companies ranged from tariff to custom, certificates and food regulations in foreign markets. Global supply chains that prevent Korea’s imports of necessary materials for the industry also posed a threat. Issues related to food safety, production technologies, eligibility for government subsidy programs and sustainable operation practices were also major concerns for the companies. “We have witnessed rising crude oil prices worldwide, tightening naphtha supplies, disrupting packaging operations and a weakening Korean won,” Park said during a press conference in Seoul marking his first year as chairman. “Not just our importers, our exporters seeking to expand their global markets also suffered from various trade
LG Innotek to operate data collecting vehicle fleet for self-driving tech
LG Innotek will dispatch a fleet of sensor-packed test vehicles to Korean roads to gather real-world data aimed at sharpening technologies that determine how self-driving cars see the world. The company said Tuesday it has begun operating data collection vehicles in Korea in partnership with Applied Intuition, a U.S. autonomous driving software company. The two companies plan to expand the fleet to 20 vehicles by 2028. Operations will initially focus on Seoul, Incheon and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province, with the fleet including both data collection vehicles and vehicles used to develop autonomous driving software. LG Innotek said direct access to road data will help it refine sensors that serve as the “eyes” of autonomous vehicles and strengthen its sensor-fusion technology. The vehicles combine cameras, radar and lidar to capture information about road conditions, vehicle movements, object locations and changes in weather, with the data to be paired with digital twin environments for sensor improvement and system validation. Sensor fusion combines camera imagery with radar measure
Watchdog chief urges securities firms to shore up shareholder value
The chief of Korea's financial watchdog on Tuesday called on securities firms to shore up shareholder value and heighten risk management for rising interest rates. In a meeting with heads of 28 securities firms, Lee Chan-jin, governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), said local brokerage firms had racked up record profits amid a stock bull run. "Securities firms that benefited the most from the growth of the capital market should play a greater role in leading market reform, and work to boost shareholder value," Lee said. The FSS chief also called for better management of loans extended to investors as part of efforts to reduce market volatility. Lee, in addition, urged securities firms to better prepare for rising interest rates.

Red ginseng gains attention for immune health amid flu surge
With the flu spreading earlier than usual this year, market interest is growing in products that may help support immune health, including red ginseng. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, the number of patients with influenza-like illnesses reached 25.3 per 1,000 outpatients during the first week of September. This is nearly double the epidemic threshold of 12.9 and up sharply from 13.3 in late August. COVID-19 is also spreading alongside the flu. During the same period, 193 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19, more than triple the number four weeks earlier. Last year, the government issued a flu advisory on Oct. 17, but this year it issued the advisory on Sept. 11 and began its vaccination program on Sept. 21. Against this backdrop, consumers are showing growing interest not only in vaccination but also in products that support immune health as part of broader preventive care, with red ginseng among those drawing increased attention. Red ginseng has been officially recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for seven potential health benefits, inclu

Global proxy advisers scrutinize KB Financial's surprise leadership change
KB Financial Group's surprise decision to replace its incumbent chairman despite record earnings is under closer shareholder scrutiny, with the world's two largest proxy advisory firms reviewing the nomination ahead of a shareholder vote, industry officials said Tuesday. Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis told The Korea Times that they are currently reviewing company proposals ahead of an extraordinary shareholders meeting scheduled for Nov. 20. Neither has yet issued a recommendation on the appointment of Lee Jae-keun as KB Financial's next chairman. Glass Lewis said it was unable to comment on the nomination at this stage because its research on the company was still underway. ISS similarly said its recommendation would be available once its research is published. "I’m happy to send you our shareholder meeting research and recommendations for KB Financial Group once we publish, which is typically 14-16 calendar days ahead of the shareholder meeting, as noted in our media policy," an ISS spokesperson said. Their recommendations could carry particular weight at KB
