DISABILITY ADVOCACY SERVICES

Many hospitals effectively screen for Medicaid, but SSI and SSDI cases require specialized expertise, extensive documentation, and ongoing appeals management. ElevatePFS manages the full disability advocacy process, helping hospitals identify missed opportunities, strengthen applications, pursue denied cases, and guide patients through complex requirements. This allows internal teams to focus on patient care and core responsibilities while improving disability enrollment outcomes. With the introduction of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) starting in 2027, converting individuals to Social Security Disability (SSI/SSDI) will help them remain on appropriate coverage while avoiding the Medicaid work requirements.

Not necessarily. ElevatePFS achieves disability determinations approximately 40% faster than the national average through proactive case management, timely documentation collection, and continuous follow-up. In addition, successful SSI and SSDI approvals may include retroactive benefits, creating reimbursement opportunities from accounts that might otherwise remain uncompensated.

ElevatePFS advocates are trained to work with vulnerable and hard-to-engage patient populations. Through compassionate outreach, personalized guidance, and consistent follow-up, they help patients navigate a complex disability application process. Building trust and maintaining communication throughout the application and appeals journey helps improve participation and completion rates.

ElevatePFS has been very successful in disability approvals by combining strong documentation practices, expert case development, and persistent appeals management. The team also works with hospital Case Management departments to identify qualified candidates earlier and build complete, well-supported applications that improve approval potential. Compared with the federal government's initial disability claim approval rate of approximately 35%, ElevatePFS' Disability Advocacy Services achieve a 77% approval rate at the initial level.

No. ElevatePFS’ Disability Advocacy solution is designed to reduce administrative burden, not increase it. The team integrates into existing workflows through onsite or virtual collaboration, streamlined referrals, and direct submission methods. ElevatePFS manages documentation gathering, application processing, follow-up activities, and appeals, allowing Case Management teams to focus on patient care while disability specialists handle the advocacy process.
