Workers’ Comp Unwrapped Episode 404: Negotiating WC Fees: When You Can Push Back on Discounts & Underpayments

In this episode of Workers’ Comp Unwrapped, we break down how providers can identify and challenge underpayments that often go unnoticed in workers’ comp billing.

Not all revenue loss comes from denied claims. Many payments are reduced through silent PPO discounts, misapplied fee schedules, or low settlement offers without clear justification. Because these claims are “paid,” they are rarely reviewed in detail.

We cover:

•  How silent PPO reductions impact reimbursement 
•  When fee schedules are applied incorrectly 
•  Why underpayments often go unchallenged 
•  The role of structured payment review in revenue recovery 
•  Practical steps to identify and push back on reduced payments 

If your team is posting payments without reviewing the details, this episode will help you uncover hidden gaps and take a more structured approach to protecting your revenue.
