However, ongoing inaccuracies with member eligibility information and disease status markers mean that many health plans don’t get the dollars they’re owed.
As your premium restoration partner, Discovery Health Partners can help you restore and protect the premiums you deserve. Whether optimizing Medicare Advantage revenue or proactively managing disease statuses, we ease the administrative burden of finding errors and making corrections—improving your efficiency and productivity and ultimately restoring millions of additional premium dollars for your plan.

Our Premium Restoration solutions
Medicare Secondary Payer Validation
Could millions of dollars be hiding in your MSP validation process? On average, 4% of Medicare Advantage members have open MSP records and 50% of those records have premium restoration potential. Our MSP Validation and Premium Restoration solution quickly and accurately validates MSP records, corrects inaccuracies, and restores millions in underpaid premium dollars.
ESRD Premium Restoration
Members with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) account for a disproportionate amount of medical expenses. Without a plan to identify these members, your Medicare Advantage plan could be missing out on millions in additional premium dollars CMS should be paying for your members with ESRD. Our ESRD Premium Restoration solution helps identify members with missing ESRD statuses and restores millions in underpaid ESRD premiums.
Medicare Advantage plans leverage Discovery’s expertise in Premium Restoration to supplement their internal premium reconciliation efforts.
