Company History
The Law Offices of Andrew D.
Stern, P.C. was founded in 1996 by Andrew Stern. We exclusively
concentrate on representing healthcare providers, corporations, and
related entities in recovery of their outstanding Personal Injury
Protection (PIP) receivables from third-party payers. PIP benefits
are primarily comprised of the medical insurance portion of
automobile insurance policies.
Given the highly complex
regulations governing this field coupled with the fact that
litigation is required in a significant majority of these cases, we
do not consider collection agencies to be our competitors. In order
to address our exploding volume of cases, we have designed and
implemented a proprietary computer system which manages our
caseload, audits our client's bills against payments received (or
missed), correctly applies all applicable laws and manages the
complex accounting issues unique to our practice
areas.
By implementing an aggressive
program managed by a highly trained and specialized staff, we are
able to efficiently maintain a regular process of massive weekly
filings of claims, and daily claim resolution
efforts.
The scope of our services range
from closed file (retrospective) reviews to on-going accounts
receivable collections. After electronically or manually
integrating our client's data, we identify the amounts owed. Our
analysis is calculated independently of our client's ledgers to
assure accuracy, and to discover additional reimbursement
opportunities. Once monies are identified, we immediately transfer
the files to our litigation team for filing and handling. Upon
payment of the settlement or verdict, we recover the monies owed to
our clients and provide a full and customizable
accounting.
