Medicare Appeals: Collect What Your Practice Really Deserves: Live Webinar by AudioEducator
Durham, NC (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- AudioEducator, a division of audio conference and corporate education leader ProEdTech, will host the live webinar “Medicare Appeals: Collect What Your Practice Really Deserves” with veteran healthcare consultant Barbara J. Cobuzzi, MBA, CPC, CENTC, COC, CPC-P, CPC-I, CPCO, AAPC Fellow, on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 1:00 pm ET. This session will address how providers can navigate Medicare and other payers’ appeals processes in order to secure their practice’s rightful reimbursement.
Spending time and resources to appeal denied claims can be taxing for a physician practice. However, appeals can not only help a practice recoup money, but can also divert auditors from honing in on problematic claims. For an auditor, if a practice is unable to show that it’s made an effort to appeal denied claims, it appears as though physicians and their staff are not aware of potential compliance issues.
In fact, many denials are not valid. Whether they’re due to a simple typo on a claim or a payer’s oversight, providers have the right to challenge their carrier or intermediary’s determination and argue their case. Recouping denied payments can be quite simple – if the details of the appeals process are understood.
In this session, expert speaker Barbara J. Cobuzzi, MBA, CPC, CENTC, COC, CPC-P, CPC-I, CPCO, AAPC Fellow, will address each step of a proven, effective method for securing a practice or facility’s rightful reimbursements.
The session will help coders and billers, billing and practice managers, physicians, clinical and front desk staff, surgical schedulers, and anyone involved in the revenue cycle:
