Washington & West

Washington & West, LLC is a full-service denial and appeals management company focused on recovering payments that were either incorrectly denied or not paid by Medicare, Medicaid, or other insurance providers to hospitals and healthcare systems. We believe that hospitals should be compensated 100% for their services, and we see ourselves as the top advocates for our clients, with the sole goal of holding insurance companies accountable for their contractual obligations. With a well-trained and experienced team of medical, legal, technical, and administrative experts, we employ a unique collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to overturn claims and deliver results when no one else can.Founded in 2002 by Linda Fotheringill and Tracy Wade, attorneys and nationally recognized experts in denials and appeals, Washington & West understands the challenges of managing a high volume of time-sensitive, highly detailed cases in the ever-evolving world of health insurance. Recognizing the need for a more systematic approach to denials and appeals, Washington & West collaborated with leading technologists to develop a robust software, Quantum Appeals© (QA), which enhances tracking and reporting methods, facilitates collaboration among experts, and ultimately helps hospitals improve profitability by reducing denial rates and overturning more claims. Today, Washington & West uses Quantum Appeals to manage denials and appeals for many of the nation’s leading hospital and healthcare systems.
