Exemplary work.

Although I am from Connecticut, I have a disabled son in a group home on Cape Cod. He was placed in an excellent day program, but due to glitches in the Mass Health computer program his placement was jeopardized when Mass Health rejected requests for payment by the provider. It was a nightmare of in...decipherable codes, multiple submissions of bills, and uncooperative bureaucrats. Attorney Scott handled the matter over the course of several months by relentlessly calling the parties involved, contacting supervisors, and using his tremendous expertise in the field to get the matter straightened out. He knew more than the people he was dealing with. He kept me up to date constantly via email and phone. I knew what was happening every step of the way. I never had to contact him; he always contacted me. End result: my son's day program, which is essential to his quality of life, was preserved. As a lawyer myself, I can recognize great lawyering when I see it. He was excellent in every category.

Appeals and Education services provided

Dennis has always been helpful in addressing difficult collection situations with insurance companies in addition to providing educational services to the billing staff at no additional charge. His assistance has resulted in our receiving payment for services provided that we would not have previous...ly received. Dennis is always positive and upbeat in his approach to any problem.

I would highly recommend Dennis Scott. He is extremely knowledgable in the Healthcare field and has recouped our facilty alot of money which we would have otherwise deemed uncollectable. He is trustworthy and very easy to work with.

all of the below.

Dennis is excellent about keeping me informed of what is going on with Masshealth and MHA. He referred me to MHA on a couple of issues and I was able to get them resolved. One issue, a provider number mix up with Medicare resulted in over three million dollars worth of claims not paying. We ended up ...getting this resolved and getting paid. Dennis checked in with me often to make sure this was getting resolved. He always goes above and beyond. He is again all of the above. He also has a great staff.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Dennis Scott is amazing. I practice condominium law so had no knowledge of health care and insurance law when a friend approached me about their very sick daughter and that she had not been given care because the family did not have health insurance. I posed the question on a Mass Lawyers Weekly list and Dennis, who I did not know, gave great responses and then told me to call him. I spoke to him for about 45 minutes and the friend's daughter was seen that day in a Boston Emergency room and with Denni' guidance the whole family had health insurance in short order. I was told by others that these issues don';t get resolved overnight. I told them that for my friends they do and sure enough, with Dennis guiding us through a maze of health insurance law foreign to me, the daughter was in good hands within hours. I will ever forget the caring and kindness of Dennis Scott. He even spokje to my friends a few times and checked in with me to make sure all was going well. Amazing man."
