Insurance is counting on you giving up

You’re doing what you’re supposed to.

You pay your premiums.

You see your doctor.

Getting care shouldn’t have to be a second job.

The work that lands on you

The denial machine is built to make you give up.

01

Decode the rules.

Untangle policy exclusions, billing codes and authorization requirements.

02

Build the case.

Gather records across doctors and match the medical evidence to your coverage.

03

Keep fighting.

Coordinate providers and insurers, meet appeal deadlines and challenge the next rejection.

That is the work Balto takes on.
