Friday: Tactical Reimbursement Strategies

Why Orthopaedic Surgeons Should Attend This Course
At least as much reimbursement is lost to dysfunctional business systems as to poor coding.
Why Team Attendance Pays Off
By educating multiple people in your office, physicians, managers and staff, you increase the possibility of positive, needed changes being made.
Our Analysis

You can code correctly but if your business systems don’t function perfectly, you won’t be paid optimally! Our skill in evaluating and improving operations in orthopaedic practices is unparalleled. Organized as a step-by-step review—this workshop increases your ability to assess office protocols with fresh eyes. Escape “This is the way we’ve always done it” syndrome.

  • Institute Effective Financial Benchmarking

  • Diagnose the Ruts in Your Revenue Cycle: First Call to Last Bill

  • Lower Your Overhead by Effectively Collecting at Time of Service
    Follow our tactical recommendations of what to say and how to say it – your time of service collections will increase by at least 10%.

  • Reduce the Risk of Audits from Health Plans, the OIG and Medicare

  • Improve Non Physician Provider Billing

  • Detecting Insurance Under-payments and Improving Appeals
    Don’t be a victim! Insurance companies count on medical practices NOT reading their EOBs and NOT issuing fact-based, vigorous appeals. Institute an activist approach. As a bonus, access fresh appeal letters and some proven favorites—free downloads for course attendees.

  • NEW! Running an Efficient Out-of-Network Scheduling and Payment System
    If your practice has opted out of plans or you are considering doing so, this session is critically important to executing strategically and tactically. See how to avoid the most often made mistakes, and how to provide good financial counseling to patients.

  • Build a Better Team; Avoid Inertia and Achieve Results
    Tired of “nothing happening?” Use our practical, tactical, trackable approach to making meaningful changes in the business side of practice.
