GainwellTechnologies (Health Management Systems, Inc. (HMS), a Gainwell Technologies company) provides Third Party Liability (TPL) Match and Recovery Services for the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG).
Under State Contract C201501 effective 4/7/16-4/6/21, Gainwell Technologies identifies, verifies and recovers Medicaid overpayments from liable Third Parties for cost savings and recovery purposes. This ensures that Medicaid costs are paid by appropriate liable third parties as well as recovers paid Medicaid claims for which TPL was not known or available at the time of Medicaid payment. This is accomplished primarily through:
Chapter 58 of the laws of 2008 amended NYS Social Services law 369 to give the State authority to make recoveries from estates, personal injury actions and other areas, as well as permitting New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) (and thereby, OMIG) to contract with one or more entities to undertake this function (SSL 369 (7)).
Gainwell Technologies identifies and verifies new commercial insurance coverage and loads updated TPL information to the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). By identifying third party coverage and updating the MMIS Third Party File prior to payments made by Medicaid, claims are rejected until Third Party resources are utilized. In addition, the current contract includes Medical Support Enforcement data matching for the IV-D program in the Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance.
Gainwell Technologies performs a recovery process that utilizes the known TPL liability coverage information maintained on MMIS. Gainwell Technologies recovery projects include provider recovery reviews; direct billing; Medicaid managed care reviews; and EPIC Program Recoveries.
Gainwell Technologies conducts provider recovery reviews. Gainwell Technologies prepares and sends reports that show claim information and comprehensive billing data to providers. The providers in turn are required to bill the insurance carrier within 90 days and submit documentation of a denial or indicate they have voided/adjusted the Medicaid claim or request that Gainwell Technologies submit the claim to MMIS for voiding/adjusting.
Gainwell Technologies pursues retroactive recovery on encounter claims through both provider recovery and the direct billing process. In response to Managed Care Third Party Reviews, there are instances which providers refund a Managed Care Organization in error for recoveries due to the State. Gainwell Technologies records these occurrences and performs a periodic outreach to the Plans Requesting a refund.
Gainwell Technologies conducts a Third-Party Retroactive Recovery project on behalf of the NYS Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program. This project recovers costs associated with prescriptions erroneously billed to and paid by EPIC.
Downloading and installing the PC Inspector File recovery software took no more than a few minutes. Since the program is free, no personal or payment information was required, which was a nice change. There was no setup necessary other than following the installation prompts.
Unfortunately, the PC Inspector File Recovery client is quite outdated and confusing. Really, it looks like something from the early 2000s, and it took some time for us to figure out what was where. It will be confusing for beginner uses, so be prepared to spend some time understanding the program if you decide to use it.
We installed PC Inspector File Recovery on a Windows 10 test laptop with 8GB of RAM. Then, we ran the program on a 500GB external hard drive which contained intentionally deleted files, and the results were as expected.
PC Inspector File Recovery is a free hard drive data recovery program, so support services are naturally limited. Surprisingly, a German phone number is listed, which could be useful for those in Europe or with the ability to make international calls.

Home inspectors can make mistakes, but defects in a house can happen long after the inspector has gone. You should be there the day the inspection happens and take your own photos so that you have a visual record of the condition of the home.
He bought the home in 2002 and living in it for a little over three years so this article was from approximately 2005. In Texas he has four years to pursue this and still collect from the TREC Inspector Recovery Fund. However he will need to obtain a civil judgment first.
In this case, if the Inspector did his job properly and documented the inspection well, he does not really stand a chance of winning anything. In many parts of Texas, parts of Tyler included, we have highly expansive soils and a number of other problematic sources of foundation failures. We are now going into our third year of a bad drought. If this home required regular foundation maintenance activities, i.e. maintaining moisture levels around the foundation, then the owner may have a hard time pressing a case if they did not perform their duties.
There are going to be a lot of foundation problems for the next few years because of this drought. Hopefully our Inspectors will use this as a prompt to document, document and document the inspection some more!!!
Food for thought .
It would be great if some one got called into court and he had 25 home Inspectors show up as witnesses some who did not know the inspector.
This could show what they would report.
