Insurance companies are making it harder every day to give patients care without meeting their requirements for procedures with eligibility, prior-authorization, and medical necessity. A patient’s insurance coverage must be current, and then the policies of the insurance company have to be followed in order to receive payment. Not authorizing services or procedures that the insurance companies require it will result in a denial that cannot be billed to the patient. Even when prior-authorization is obtained, if you haven’t met the medical necessity guidelines, the claim is not guaranteed payment. In addition to these complexities, medical offices are expecting to keep up the different changes for each of the insurance carriers they are contracted with, that can happen almost daily. The insurance companies publish changes, but many changes are quietly implemented and the only way offices become aware is when they receive a denial.
Join this information-packed webinar, where expert speaker Lynn M. Anderanin not only talk about organizing eligibility and prior-authorization in a medical office, but will also look in-depth at the problems that can occur and steps to take to feel confirmation that you have met the insurance company requirements for eligibility, prior-authorization, and medical necessity. This will ensure that your claims will be paid according to the insurance company guidelines that you followed.
