The client, an international oil & gas refiner and retailer, requested to design a program to maximize their cost recovery across their vast U.S. portfolio. They enlisted Antea Group to assess their eligibility and recovery for any and every incident managed by them and requested that we develop systems that would enable full recovery of eligible costs with 0% missed dollars. They outlined their success criteria to be:
Submit 100% of potentially eligible sites for cost recovery
Maintain a 100% spend-to-submit ratio on these sites
Recover expenditures to fullest extent within every state fund in an expedited manner
Solution
Antea Group established teams of experts in every state with reimbursement funds where the client’s incidents occurred. We established a full national reimbursement program and managed their eligibility, claims, data, and metrics reporting.
