Conquering Denials Proactively!

$45.00

Billing is so much more than submitting claims!

95% of conquering denials is actually prevention – not reaction. It starts with understanding how all the pieces of the private practice revenue puzzle fit together. You’ll learn to use available free resources and tools like a pro. Conquering denials and minimizing rejections on the front end IS possible!

Why work harder on administrative tasks than you have to?

Administration doesn’t have to include frustration! What we’ll discuss:

  • Billing as “revenue cycle management” –  what are the crucial tasks?
  • Utilizing “informational no-pay” claim responses to get paid.
  • Finding, understanding, and quickly fixing rejections.
  • Identifying the reasons why claims may not make it to the “paid” finish line – and then setting up checks and balances to prevent errors from causing problems later.
  • How to submit corrections – correctly!
  • Voids: an easy way to fix mistakes & pay back money. Why call, send letters, or fill out forms if you don’t have to?
  • Understand how to submit secondary claims and avoiding the common rejection reasons.
  • How are things are different out of network?
  • How Medicare is different (naturally!)
  • Interpreting the insurance card to find the correct payer ID.
  • Adjustment codes, status codes, group codes, remark codes – decipher the roadmaps to getting paid. What do all these codes mean? Where do you find them?
  • Electronic claims “edits” you’ve never heard of that might be keeping your claims stuck.
  • What you need to know about clearinghouses, payer ID’s, and electronic data interchange.  (I promise, I’m not going to teach you programming!
  • Is your technology betraying you? What features are available out there that will reduce your workload?
