What is Float?
Forget about what you hope your kayak will do on your five mile alligator infested river ride.
The float we are talking about is the difference between premiums collected and payments made by the insurance company.
The higher the float – the more profitable the insurance company.
The payer’s motivation to maximize their float justifies their aggressive tactics and violations and validates providers fears.
How do Payers Play the Game?
Unaware of payer’s tactics, providers lose the float game.
Worse, they often help payers win it.

How do Payers Play the Game?
Unaware of payer’s tactics, providers lose the float game.
Worse, they often help payers win it.
The slower this process goes, the more Float the payer accumulates over time.
Delays are caused by errors and neglect.
Every delay helps the payer to hold onto the Float.
Providers risk making errors at every stage of this flowchart.
Out of frustration providers often abandon their payments, by accepting denials without appealing them, by accepting rejections without correcting and resubmitting claims.
Many never monitor individual claim delays, let alone measuring the total delays across their entire practice. However, individual delays make just a fraction of the total provider’s loss.
