Get Reimbursed: Medical and Dental Coordination of Benefits and Non-covered Services - On Demand Bundle

Learn how to correctly understand and properly apply the rules governing coordination of benefits and non-covered services during this 90-minute webinar. When your OMS practice learns how to accurately navigate these rules, staff time can be better spent supporting patients instead of dealing with insurance companies. There also exists the potential for significantly greater reimbursements and overall practice revenue. Without knowing which services are covered, when such services are covered and the pre-operative requirements for coverage, your practice’s financial standing can be negatively impacted. Insurers/carriers can deny non-covered services as well as covered services for which pre-operative conditions were allegedly not satisfied. Participants in this webinar will learn how to determine whether services are covered and the appropriate steps are followed to create a more efficient practice with stronger patient satisfaction when they do not have to incur undue charges. It is difficult to collect reimbursement when you do not know the appropriate party to charge and from whom to seek such payment. For this reason, a comprehensive understanding of the coordination of benefit rules – in particular the rules set forth in patient plans and governing their coverage – is imperative. With such knowledge, your practice will be able to better understand who is primarily responsible for payment, to what extent, and the processes you need to go through to secure the reimbursement that you have surely earned. Participants in this webinar will listen to Thomas J. Force, an attorney and owner of a successful medical billing company specializing in these aspects, share his knowledge as well as techniques to ensure the most efficient and profitable operation.
