Great
Lakes Financial Services, Inc. has been a top quality provider of third party
revenue work for over 2 decades. Since 1987, we have grown from one company to
five, with offices in Chicago and Springfield, representing over sixty
hospitals. We have realized this growth by achieving excellent liquidations,
providing quality service at a competitive cost, and by representing hospitals
with integrity.
In the
quickly changing financial field and the greatly competitive environment
surrounding hospitals, a collection, Medicaid eligibility and billing service
cannot do "business as usual" and provide the support so vitally needed by the
hospital's business office. We pride ourselves on being ahead of the field by
providing in-house training and seminars on Legal Aspects of Healthcare
Collections, Medicaid Laws and Regulations, Collection Techniques, and other
Reimbursement Areas.

1.
Probate Claims

All
account representatives are given thorough training in the pursuit of
third-party reimbursement. Training includes areas of liens, Workers
Compensation, commercial insurance, police custody, Medicare secondary payor
policy, probate and governmental assistance. All lien notices are reviewed by
our attorneys to ensure strict compliance with the Lien Act. To ensure
consistency and thoroughness in working a third-party account, we have developed
comprehensive online checklists for each reimbursement area, which are used by
our account representatives when a third-party payment source is being pursued.
