IBNR
Does your business struggle to itemize and compile financial figures resulting from outstanding, unreported, and unpaid medical or prescription drug claims? Watkins Ross specializes in calculating Incurred But Not Reported, or IBNR, reserves and liability. Our IBNR calculation strategies include claim triangle or lag methodology, detailed and transparent views into historical payment patterns, and consideration of IBNR-impacting factors like plan updates, provider network changes, and external factors such as extreme weather and workplace shutdowns. IBNR calculations play a vital role in determining the financial health of your employer-sponsored health plans and IBNR end-of-year reports reveal outstanding accounts receivable liabilities.
