We will review the development of RBRVS reimbursement for physicians.  We will discuss how best to utilize RBRVS to set practice fee schedules, analyze the costs of services provided in your practice and compute your "internal conversion factor".  This knowledge is a prerequisite for understanding and negotiating managed care contracts and making other financial decisions for your office or clinic in addition to preparing for future changes in reimbursement methods.

Every medical office needs an expert in dealing with third party payers. Securing correct and consistent reimbursement revenue goes well beyond simply coding.

How good is your team?
Are your aging reports under control?
Are your claim follow-up procedures effective?
Are ABNs and authorizations being processed correctly?
Has your ratio of outstanding claims decreased in the last 2 years?
