DecisionHealth and CAQH Combine Forces to Optimize the Provider Experience at the National Provider Enrollment Workshop 2014
Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 25, 2014 -- DecisionHealth, a leading source for health care news, analysis and instructional guidance, announced today that it will be including CAQH, a nonprofit alliance of health plans and trade associations aimed at simplifying health care administration, to enhance onsite training at the 14th Annual National Provider Enrollment Workshop 2014: Solve Your Medicare and Commercial Payer Enrollment Challenges.
Now in its fourteenth year, the DecisionHealth workshop, taking place at the Millennium Knickerbocker in Chicago, IL from April 28th through the 30th, will offer physician practice managers, clinicians and a myriad of administrative staff three full days of expanded learning opportunities focused on Medicare and payer provider enrollment, as well as the CAQH Universal Provider Datasource (UPD) system. This year’s expanded agenda will feature UPD-targeted sessions including:
• Payer Enrollment Snapshot — What is CAQH UPD and Why Use It?: The first day, attendees jump right into a high-level overview of UPD, including a summary of what’s next for provider information, and some major enhancements coming to UPD.
• How to Complete a CAQH UPD Application: The last day, participants will be guided through an entire UPD application, learn answers to frequently asked questions and gain tips on how to avoid common errors with directions on where to go for help along the way.
• What Payers Look for in Credentialing Data: Attendees will gain exclusive insight into the payer angle as experts from CAQH are joined by representatives from a premier commercial health plan to share their perspective and answer questions.
• How CAQH UPD Will Drive Provider Data Sharing: The workshop wraps up with information on how UPD will evolve and how provider data that is captured will soon be used for a wide variety of functions that will benefit everyone, from patients to providers.
