Untangle the Medicare Participation Dilemma!

$45.00

Medicare participation dilemmas are the # 1 reason people schedule consultations with me.  Common mistakes get made that can turn out to be extremely expensive for you.

Medicare participation myths are numerous! Advice from colleagues is well-meaning, but may be incorrect. AI or internet searches may be unclear or relying on outdated information. Medicare is complicated!

Do you want to stake your practice’s profitability on questionable information?

Are any of these things true?

  • Medicare audits and claws back all the time!    (For Original Medicare: Depends on following the rules!)
  • Do I really have to opt out? I hear they’ll throw you off insurance panels if you opt out!   (MAYBE)
  • Why can’t I just give Medicare clients a superbill?    (BECAUSE IT’S THE LAW)
  • Medicare doesn’t pay well!   (DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE…)

This recording reveals the answers to these common questions:

  • Why can’t I be non-participating?
  • Why can’t the client just bill their secondary plan?
  • I tried to bill Medicare for a denial so I could bill the secondary, but it didn’t work!?!?
  • I tried to enroll but Medicare’s credentialing process is so hard!  It’s almost like they don’t really want us.
  • I want to be able to just take Medicaid, why can’t I do that?
  • One of the insurance companies I take is making me enroll!
  • Can I opt out for my private practice but opt in with a group or a telehealth platform?
  • I’m opted out and some of my older clients with insurance are suddenly getting denials!! Why is that?
  • How do I find out what Medicare pays?
  • It’s so hard to bill Medicare – even my biller won’t do it!
  • I have a group practice. I don’t want to take Medicare myself but I’m ok enrolling my therapists. Can I do that?
  • Medicare and supervising associates: the dangers of “incident-to” billing.
  • What are the rules of opting out?
  • What’s the risk of doing nothing?
  • What are the risks of taking Medicare through a telehealth platform?

Resolve your Medicare participation dilemma and set your mind at ease!

No judgment – just the facts no one’s ever given you.
