They used to have an "Account Executive" program where you could talk to a reviewer BEFORE you started work to explain what you were doing and get tips on what was eligible and what was not. I did that when I started and it was an eye opener! The reviewer I spoke to was the one who handled all our claims, so it didn't hurt that he already knew about us. It made his job, and mine, a lot easier.
