Mathew Levy, Esq. and his associate Stephen Cucolo, Esq. were able to successfully reduce the overpayment demand for an ABA provider. When they received the audit/investigation from their client, the insurance company findings were 100% error rate and demanding a six-figure claw back of the funds. After submitting the Appeal the overpayment was overturned and reduced to a 3% error rate and just $5000 to be refunded.
