As technology becomes more sophisticated, and insurance companies continue to attempt to save money, knowing and understanding denials will allow you to disagree with denials when they are not applicable. Once a denial is recognized as an error, sharing the reasons are important in contacting the insurance company and proving the claim was denied inaccurately. Supplying the insurance company with documentation of the services or procedures performed and the reference(s) that stand prove your position will assist those reviewing the facts to consider a turnover of the denial and a payment of the procedure or service.
Many practices and offices have denials on the back burner as they are considered a lower priority than processing current billing and other tasks that need to be completed. This session will offer tips and tricks on how to streamline the appeals process in your office and help you to design an effective appeals process.
