The International Patient Challenge
Nearly 50% of international travelers presenting to U.S. emergency rooms are uninsured, while the other half are insured through a patchwork of global underwriters and products. This creates a complex environment for billing, reimbursement, and collections.
From coding to carrier claim submission, adjudication, and self-pay negotiations, the emergent international claims process is fragmented. UHS International Claims advocates for providers by navigating payers, enforcing contracts, and negotiating fair outcomes—accelerating payment and maximizing reimbursement.
About Us
Founded in 1994, Sunbelt built its reputation helping providers recover payment for international services. Now part of Unified Health Services, this team operates as UHS’s dedicated International Claims Center of Excellence.
With in-house legal counsel and clinician input, our team manages everything from routine claims to the most complicated payer disputes. We expedite negotiations, enforce reimbursement terms, overturn denials, and advocate for both patients and providers to ensure the right outcomes are achieved.
