Pricing

Built on value, not the clock.

Most firms still bill in six-minute increments. Rivet Health Law prices the work: a defined project, ongoing counsel, or a recovery. You pay for the outcome and the judgment, not for time on a timer.

Why it works this way

Hourly billing was built for a paper practice. It charges for how long something takes, which is not the same as what it is worth to a provider. A predictable fee keeps the cost lined up with the work, and it stays affordable because the scope is named up front.

  • No six-minute increments
  • No surprise invoices
  • The fee lines up with the work
  • The price is agreed before the work starts

How a fee gets set

  1. Step 1

    Describe the matter

    A defined project, a standing need for counsel, or money left on a claim.

  2. Step 2

    Match it to a model

    Flat fee, subscription, or contingency. If none of them fits, the firm will say so.

  3. Step 3

    Agree on the fee first

    You know what you are paying, and what it covers, before anyone starts.

Which model fits

Start with the kind of work. The model follows from that.

  • The work has a clear beginning and end

    Flat fee

    A contract review, a compliance review, a written policy.

  • The questions keep coming

    Subscription

    Regular guidance for a group that is not ready to hire counsel full time.

  • The point is getting a claim paid

    Contingency

    A denial, an underpayment, or a fee the plan reduced.

The three models

Flat fee

One price for a defined job

A single agreed price for a service with a clear scope.

Best for

  • Regulatory analyses and compliance reviews
  • Contract drafting or review
  • A discrete advisory project
  • Policy development and documentation

You know the cost at the start. The work stays on the result, not on tracking time.

Subscription

Counsel you can call, for a monthly fee

Ongoing access to the firm for a predictable amount each month.

Best for

  • A growing healthcare company
  • A provider watching regulatory change
  • A practice that needs counsel regularly, not a full-time lawyer
  • A team that wants guidance without opening a new hourly matter

Answers come faster, issues get caught earlier, and legal spend is a number you can budget.

Contingency

A fee tied to what is recovered

On certain claim appeals and reimbursement disputes, the fee depends on a successful recovery.

Best for

  • Denied or underpaid claims
  • Appeals where the goal is the money back
  • A claim paid at a low qualifying payment amount under the No Surprises Act
  • Fee schedule disputes

The firm is paid when you recover, so a legitimate claim can move forward without an upfront legal fee.

Tell us the matter. We’ll name the model.

A short call is enough to say whether it is a flat fee, a subscription, or a contingency.
