success stories


  • Patient was admitted into the ICU for 8 days in an out of network hospital. Based on findings the hospital was marking-up its charges by approximately 400% above cost. Assent was able to negotiate a 30% prompt pay discount which lowered the mark-up to approx. 250%.

sucess story


A hospital billed charges of more than $50K. Network discount equaled 12%. Other cost containment agencies were showing the ability to capture between a 16% - 24% savings. Based on Assent’s prior relationship with the hospital’s administration and the ability to pay the settle charges within 10 business days, a 35% discount was achieved.

sucess stories


  • As per Assent’s cost to charge analysis, an out of network hospital marked-up their charges by more than 750% above cost. Assent questioned the extreme mark-up and explained that the patient would be personally responsible for a significant portion of the charges. Through Assent’s persistence, the hospital reduced their charges by nearly 50% and in light of the large discount, the insurance company waived the co-pay, in order to help relieve some of the members out of pocket expenses.
