Washington & West, LLC, is a full-service denial and appeals management company that focuses exclusively on recovering fees for hospital and health care systems that are wrongfully underpaid or denied by Medicare, Medicaid, or other insurance providers. We believe hospitals should be compensated for 100 percent of the services they provide, and we consider ourselves our clients’ number-one advocate, with the singular goal of holding insurance carriers to their contractual obligations. With a team of highly trained and experienced medical, legal, technical, and administrative experts, we take a uniquely collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to overturning claims—and deliver results when no one else can. Founded in 2002 by Linda Fotheringill and Tracy Wade, attorneys and nationally-recognized denial and appeal specialists, Washington & West understands the challenges of working with large volumes of time-sensitive, highly detailed cases in the ever-evolving world of health insurance. Recognizing a need for a more systematic approach to denials and appeals, Washington & West worked with leading technologists to develop a robust software, Quantum Appeals© (QA), that improves tracking and reporting methodologies, facilitates collaboration among experts, and ultimately enables hospitals to increase profitability by lowering their denial rates and overturning more claims. Today, Washington & West uses Quantum Appeals to manage denials and appeals for many of the nation’s leading hospitals and health care systems.
