Aon and Crowe Paradis partnership delivers one-stop solution to MSP
compliance CHICAGO, March 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aon
Corporation (NYSE:AOC), the leading global provider of risk
management services, today announced a partnership with Crowe
Paradis Services Corporation, the nation's fastest growing provider
of Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) compliance services. The two
firms have been working together on discrete engagements for nearly
a year to prepare clients for the upcoming mandatory insurance
reporting requirements and are now jointly bringing to market a
one-stop solution to compliance, which includes access to Crowe
Paradis' MSP Navigator product. (Logo:

2009, the Mandatory Insurer Reporting (MIR) amendments to the MSP
demand all organizations that provide liability insurance, no-fault
insurance, workers' compensation and self-insurance have a
compliance plan registered with the Centers for Medicaid and
Medicare Services (CMS). Insurance companies and self-insureds are
the organizations most affected by this requirement as any
penalties for non-compliance accrue to the entity that retains the
risk. Working in partnership, Aon and Crowe Paradis offer a
comprehensive solution combining legal, medical, and information
technology expertise. This approach drives broad compliance with
all aspects of the MSP with successful negotiation with CMS. The
result minimizes clients' workload while maximizing their cost
savings. In head-to-head comparisons, Crowe Paradis has
consistently delivered tens of thousands of dollars in savings on
Medicare Set Asides allocations and conditional payment
negotiations. "Our focus is on enabling claims cost mitigation best
practices by developing innovative solutions for our clients," said
Brian Thede, CEO of Aon Recovery, a specialized claims cost
reduction group within Aon responsible for managing the partnership
with Crowe Paradis. "As the fastest-growing and most highly
regarded service provider in the space, Crowe Paradis certainly
meets our best-in-class standards and adds significantly to Aon's
solution set by specifically addressing and simplifying the
Medicare Compliance challenge." A key component of the Aon-Crowe
Paradis offering is the MSP Navigator product, designed to manage
the entire MIR process for an organization as an outsourced
solution. Some of the difficulties that the product can address
include: -- Reporting on MIR-required data that is not found in
distinct, searchable fields in claims systems -- Drawing legacy
claims systems within one organization or several claims from
several claims organizations together into one repository and one
reporting process -- Determining Medicare eligibility status on
claimants in an efficient, large-scale manner -- Providing
visibility on the status of CMS reporting -- Managing execution
reporting and consequent interaction with CMS, COB, and MSPRC in
order to minimize the impact to claims personnel -- Discovering,
verifying and negotiating conditional liens associated with your
organization -- Providing consistent reporting to CMS, even among
the non-workers' compensation parts of a claims organization that
lack experience with the MSP statute -- Identifying cases requiring
Medicare Set-Aside arrangements -- Considering legal issues of both
state and federal law through a sophisticated Rules Engine In
addition, the offering includes access to a team of experienced
nurses and lawyers to handle complex issues as well as numerous
connections with Third-Party Administrators through carrier
contracts. "While the MIR reporting requirements are new, the
challenges of extracting meaningful data from claims handling
software are not new to 2009," said Kenneth Paradis, CEO of Crowe
Paradis. "The engine within the MSP Navigator has driven successful
data projects for the property and casualty industry for more than
a decade. "With Aon, we're providing a blend of software and
personnel uniquely poised to deliver the highest degree of
compliance with the MIR and cost mitigation of the MSP along with
the ease and certitude of a true turnkey, outsourcing solution,"
Paradis concluded. To learn more, please visit
