By Steven M. Verno | CMMC, CMMB, NREMT-P
If you're getting a denial or having trouble appealing denials after treating your patients maybe you need to look a little closer at your patients insurance coverage and see if it is an ERISA plan.
ERISA is defined as The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. It is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established pension and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.
Steve Verno has written an e-book that we are giving away to those who are interested. It is a summary of ERISA related topics and issues that all providers need to be aware of when dealing with ERISA covered patients. Included in the e-book is a summary of the basics of ERISA, breaking it down into easy to read question and answers. Mr. Verno has also included the statute references for follow-up in case you want to investigate further. He has also broken the appeals process down into steps and included examples of letters that could be used when contacting the insurance company. Understanding ERISA should be an essential part of all staff members that have the responsibility for the billing of ERISA covered patients.
