Medicare typically provides health care coverage for people who are over 65, or have some type of disability, or who have permanent kidney failure.In a nutshell: When people covered by Medicare receive medical treatment at a hospital, skilled nursing facility, provider-based rural health clinic or other types of facilities in the area we cover, TriSpan receives their Medicare claims, processes the claims, and sends the facility the proper payment. We also work closely with the medical providers to help them keep proper records for Medicare.
TriSpan serves as the intermediary primarily in Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri, but also in other states. We work with more than 1,800 medical providers to determine payment amounts, make the payments, consult with them on proper record-keeping, serve as a communication conduit between providers and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), audit certain provider records, and help them with utilization review procedures. Providers under Medicare Part A include hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health care, hospice care, and other facilities.
We continually strive to help all of our employees develop the customer-focused skills and leadership they need to keep TriSpan a healthy, dynamic and successful company. Our commitment to excellence, efficiency, and integrity is visible in the winning team that is TriSpan.
