01 · The Opportunity

One question now decides every claim.

US Anesthesia Partners operates in one of the most complex billing environments in healthcare. The growing share of self-funded employer plans, combined with state surprise billing laws, has made one question central to every claim:

"Is this plan state regulated, or federally regulated under ERISA?"

The answer changes everything — whether balance billing protections apply, which dispute pathway governs the claim, and how much revenue is recoverable. Most verification workflows surface the carrier and benefits but stop short of the ERISA determination, leaving billing teams to guess, escalate, or write off recoverable dollars.

02 · How Solutions Group Solves It

before it becomes a denial.
