This program assists BACH in recovering money from private health insurers for care provided to insured patients. Our Health Readiness Platform is required by law to bill private health insurance companies, such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Mail Handlers, Aetna, etc. The President of the United States initiated this law in 1986.
