Client Case Study:
SETON Health Plan

Seton Health Plan, Inc. manages care and provides claims payment services to approximately 40,000 fully insured and self-funded members. In the first year of service provided by The Bratton Firm, the rate of return on subrogation claims was 1,000 percent higher than the prior five years combined of returns offered by the previous vendor of record. In addition to locating claims that had been missed by their prior vendor, The Bratton Firm identified and quickly prosecuted new claims. In many cases, it was discovered that the claimants' attorneys were simply holding the money, waiting to see if the plan would ever materialize in some sort of subrogation interest.

"We always thought there was more recoverable losses, but we had no idea that it was possible to be so successful by tracking down such a high volume of subrogation claims. The Bratton Firm far exceeded our expectations."
