Hummel Consultation Services offers multiple pricing structures to fit your individual needs. All of our rates are completely negotiable on a case-by-case basis.







Individual Flat Rate Pricing:

This convenient structure offered by HCS allows you complete control over cost, yet ensures the same level of quality and customer service that HCS has always emphasized. With industry-leading turn-around times and fixed flat rates, you can proceed with settlements with greater speed and economic assurance.

All prices listed are flat fees applicable while a referral is in an open status, with the exception of the Hourly Program as indicated. Some processes and their appropriate fees may be duplicated while a referral is in an open status with HCS, depending upon the specific circumstances of the referral and as HCS deems necessary. Not all referrals will require all of these processes. HCS will perform only those processes determined by HCS as necessary to the fulfillment of our engagement or as requested to do so by the parties involved in the claim.

$1,400.00 Medicare Set-Aside Analysis

HCS includes all of the following processes:

  •     Comprehensive Review of Legal and Medical Documents
  •     Life Care Plan Analyses

  •     Settlement Consultation

$500.00 Rush Request of the Medicare Set-Aside Analysis

Rush requests are given priority assignment over all other pending referrals, regardless of the client. Rush requests may be applied to any process, including the Hourly Program.

$450.00 Medicare Set-Aside Proposal for CMS Evaluation

Includes the preparation and delivery of the proposal to CMS, transmission of additional materials after proposal submission, fulfillment of CMS additional data requests, delivery and interpretation of the CMS determination to the client, and the drafting and submission of any requested appeals by the client.

$250.00 Conditional Payment Lien Search

Includes determination of the lead contractor, preparation and delivery of the request to the lead contractor, transmission of additional materials after the search is initiated, fulfillment of additional data requests by the lead contractor, delivery and interpretation of the search results to the client, and the drafting and submission of any requested appeals. The flat rate includes both tentative and final determinations.

Hourly Program:

For clients who prefer an hourly invoicing basis, HCS is pleased to offer this option. The hourly rate is $197.00 / hour for all processes HCS deems necessary to fulfill its engagement upon the referral. (Custodial Agreements are invoiced separately, see below.) The hourly program must be specifically requested prior to HCS opening the referral, otherwise the Individual Flat Rate Pricing shall apply. Billable hours are measured for every 1/10th of an hour.

Custodial Agreements:

HCS offers complete Professional Administration Custodial Agreements as an additional service for our customers. The charge for this service is a one-time only flat fee which includes all steps necessary to completely execute the Agreement, including, but not limited to, custom drafting, revisions, forwarding of the documents to required parties, and implementation of the Agreement. The fee for this service is $850.00, and is billed as a separate item, regardless of any billing structure utilized.

Additional Services:

Communications: HCS does not invoice telephone calls, conference calls, electronic mail messaging, or facsimiles, regardless of length or time.

Initial Consultations: HCS only invoices referrals upon which our firm has been formally engaged by a referring client. Initial consultations, and calls related to a referral prior to an engagement are always free. HCS gladly offers as much time and assistance as is required prior to any engagement.

Referral-Related Travel: Clients will be invoiced for travel-related expenses if such travel is deemed necessary by any party to a referral as part of our formal engagement on a specific referral and is outside of the New Hampshire Seacoast region.

Training Sessions and Seminars:

HCS is more than happy to provide training sessions and seminars at no charge, regardless of the number of recipients. Furthermore, HCS can supply educational and instructional materials regarding Medicare compliance issues at no cost to the requester. Please contact Christine for more information regarding our excellent Medicare compliance training programs and materials.
