We’re experts in addressing barriers to reimbursement in California…

Electronic Submission: From invoices to payment in no time

Dozens of invoices, each with electronic coding requirements, means hours of data entry--ultimately slowing your recovery timeline.

Why not trust the experts at Pinnacle EMS? Our commitment to innovation has allowed us to leverage data technology, streamlining the process, minimizing errors and maximizing recovery – all of which keep our costs low!

Claim Eligibility: The door is still open to seek coverage

The requirements can be tricky, but Pinnacle’s decades of experience can help get your release eligible with funding levels up to $1M. Whether you’ve got an active release or your release was closed years ago, Pinnacle EMS has successfully helped claimants gain access to fund coverage for hundreds of releases.

Expedited Recovery: Get your money back sooner

A large-scale cleanup of a UST impacted site can take a toll on your cash flow, so timely recovery of costs is paramount to the success of your business. Pinnacle’s insight and experience allow us to advocate for our client’s needs–aiding claimants as they seek reimbursement through forecasting, cash flow visibility, and followup with fund regulators.

Client Testimonial

“When a leak was discovered at a station we were closing, my environmental engineers suggested I contact Pinnacle. I found their team to be efficient, professional and knowledgeable as they filed the claims, responded to the State, and helped us obtain reimbursement. I would not have been as successful in this task if not for Pinnacle.”
