In this case, six separate non-flagged lien claimants collectively billed $33,894.92 for various medical and interpreter services. The SPEAR team performed a detailed billing analysis and review of each provider and identified extensive issues affecting compensability and payment eligibility.

At the lien conference, five liens were resolved through informal agreements and one lien was withdrawn entirely, resulting in a total payment of just $2,350—an overall savings of more than 93%.

Each settlement reflected the team’s thorough preparation and strategic approach:

• Physician #1: $1,435.00 lien withdrawn — $0 paid
• Physician #2: $5,517.23 lien settled for $500 (91% savings)
• Physician #3: $7,632.97 lien settled for $500 (93.45% savings)
• Interpreter #1: $2,400.00 lien settled for $200 (92% savings)
• Physician #4: $7,409.72 lien settled for $150 (97.98% savings)
• Interpreter #2: $9,500.00 lien settled for $1,000 (89.47% savings)

Through careful review of billing patterns, strong negotiation by Argus, and consistent application of the SPEAR Program’s methodologies, the defense team achieved a highly favorable outcome across all six liens.

This matter demonstrates how the SPEAR Program continues to deliver measurable, repeatable results—resolving liens efficiently while ensuring only properly supported charges are paid even with providers who are non-flagged by the SPEAR Program.
