Who We Are

Not every consultant is an advocate.

ERN/NCRA/TRAF has been providing training, advocacy and claims representation for more than 20 years. For our 15th anniversary, we introduced ClaimCure.

This division was created with a mission to empower our provider members and the healthcare community with ERN’s certified specialists.

Advocating for medically appropriate healthcare under the law, starts on the front end. ClaimCure exists to provide denial prevention.

More than consulting

Unlike other consultancies, ClaimCure commands the resources of prompt payment and public policy laws to secure your cash flow.

When you partner with us, you are gaining a team of denial prevention consultants who inherit the strength, honor, and legacy of ERN.

Our consultants are ERN Certified Compliance Consultants skilled in health administrative laws to prevent unfair payment practices and negligent utilization reviews. We bring together administrative laws across all jurisdictions (including MA, HMO, PPO, Medicaid, ERISA, and VA) with process improvements and denial management to accelerate cash flow, decrease and prevent denials.
