Subrogation

Maximize savings and recoveries for accident-related claims

Improve your subrogation recoveries

In today’s healthcare system, subrogation plays a critical role in ensuring payment integrity. Whether the cause is an accident or serious illness, health plans stand to lose millions paying claims when a third-party payer is responsible. These claims amount to as much as $25 per member per year. However, many health plans lack the tools and resources to identify and pursue recovery opportunities for high-cost, complex claims.

As your subrogation partner, Discovery Health Partners offers deep subrogation expertise, advanced technologies, and a data-driven approach—all with proven results you can trust. With analytics and alternative investigation methods, we find more recovery opportunities, validate more cases, and reduce member contact, ultimately maximizing recoveries for your health plan.
