Managed IDR Service

Recover Underpayments. IDR Management Built on Legal Strategy.

Allia Group leverages a suite of legal solutions in complex revenue recovery environments. IDR is one of several strategies used to secure fair payment for healthcare providers.

The No Surprises Act’s IDR process establishes a repeatable, consistent pathway for out-of-network providers to dispute underpayments through certified arbitrators called IDR entities. IDR operates under complex regulations – therefore, it demands legal precision at every stage.

Allia Group has the expertise to maximize recovery in IDR. Our full-service, end-to-end management for independent physicians, hospitals, and health systems:
