Ancillary Care Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of American CareSource Holdings (NASDAQ symbol ANCI), the first national, publicly traded ancillary care network services company, offers a comprehensive national network of over 4,900 ancillary service providers at more than 36,000 sites. Ancillary Care Services offers the regional payer community – more... access to a broad network of ancillary providers, along with a value-added suite of services that results in quantifiable medical and operational cost savings to payors. By assuming responsibility for the most complex and costly interactions between payors and providers (contracting, credentialing, collections, resolution management, and payments) ACS is able to leverage our economies-of-scale and technological superiority to drive down medical and operational costs. Only ACS is able to immediately enhance the breadth (footprint) and depth (specialties) of our clients' ancillary services by tailoring the network to optimize your fee schedule. These results are achieved without charging access fees or requiring any investment. All this is done without any member disruption, because we augment rather than replace your providers.

ACS targets our client's high volume providers for continued provider development. ACS helps reduce ancillary claims loss ratio for the payor community.

2. Claims Processing and Payment


How does the process actually work? A customized claims flow process is established during implementation. Our clients forward claims to ACS for repricing via EDI or paper. ACS re-prices the claims then issues a repricing sheet or outbound EDI transmission to the client that shows billed charges, ACS re-pricing and client savings. The client then remits payment to ACS, and ACS remits payments and EOPs to the provider. – lessMore from ZoomInfo »
