Frequently Asked Questions
The January 2025 transition from Humana to TriWest has created significant payment delays and processing issues for many San Antonio providers. If you’re experiencing claim denials, payment delays, or authorization problems that are affecting your practice’s financial stability, you may have grounds for breach of contract claims or appeals. We assist providers in documenting these issues and pursuing resolution through appropriate legal channels.
The general timeframe for healthcare providers to complete credentialing is between 90 to 120 days, though this can vary significantly by institution and specialty. Some states estimate traditional credentialing to be 30 to 60 days, while others warn credentialing can take anywhere from 90 to 150 days. Delays in credentialing can prevent you from practicing legally and treating patients, making early application submission critical.
Healthcare fraud investigations can arise from billing patterns, whistleblower complaints, or routine audits. These matters often involve multiple agencies and can result in both civil and criminal exposure. Federal prosecutors often use billing mistakes as evidence of intent to defraud, even when true billing mistakes lack the intent the government seeks to prove. Early legal counsel is essential to protect your interests and ensure proper handling of the investigation.
Practices serving patients with limited English proficiency must consider federal language access requirements. Given San Antonio’s large Hispanic population, failure to provide adequate language services can result in civil rights violations and compliance issues. Additionally, practices receiving federal funding may have specific obligations regarding non-discrimination and accessibility.
We close healthcare transactions throughout the San Antonio metro area and South Texas region. Our due diligence process examines regulatory compliance, outstanding qui tam risk, payor contract assignments, and real estate issues specific to San Antonio’s medical office market. We’ve structured acquisitions for private equity platforms, hospital systems, and physician groups expanding throughout Bexar County and the surrounding counties.
