DESCRIPTION
Getting paid on Out of Network claims (OON) is one of the greater difficulties every healthcare service provider face. And if the regular roadblocks were already not enough, the payers are now continually pushing to constrain OON reimbursement rates. You need to improve the bottom line, which can only be achieved by maximizing reimbursements and minimizing denials.
Join us for this session with coding expert, Stephanie Thomas, CPC®, CANPC®, as she takes a deep dive into how payers typically handle OON claims and how to avoid costly denials on OON claims. She will discuss the verbiage to use for successful OON conversations and share the best negotiation practices you can use with a payer for higher reimbursement of OON bills.
You will also learn how to working with a payer without a contract and many more such tricks and tips of the trade. You will acquire knowledge of how to work with out of network patients and how to help them understand their insurance benefits. Medical necessity denials will be a thing of the past as Stephanie runs you through these specific examples. You will know how to correctly spell out medical necessity to ensure you are paid the first time.
