Procedures and services related to the foot are very specific and can be quite confusing because of the medical necessity requirements and restrictions on the conditions that can be treated. This webinar will discuss these regulations and guidelines to offer a better understanding of when these services will be payable. Medicare as well as other insurance carriers have specific policies related to nail debridement, treatment of corns and calluses, flat foot, and bunions, just to name a few conditions. The webinar will offer CPT and ICD-10 codes to know when the patient will be responsible for services or what the medical necessity and Documentation requirements are in order to effectively pass an audit by CMS or a commercial carrier. If the patient does not meet the medical necessity requirements, working with the patient on payment of these services can be an important part of having a successful profitable practice. These requirements can change at any time so knowing the current requirements is critical.

The key to winning anything is understanding the rules of the game and it’s no different in healthcare. There are hundreds if not thousands of federal, state and commercial guidelines to abide by in order to achieve and maintain payer reimbursement and compliance. This is why your team must have a clear understanding of state and federal regulations and the ramifications that may arise when these guidelines are not followed.

Every medical billing company wants to optimize the revenue cycle for both themselves and their clients —but the industry may not be thinking big enough when it comes to managing claims, denials and payments. This year, Encoda commissioned an independent survey of practice leaders to learn more about their revenue cycle management challenges, and learned that practices are leaving a significant amount of revenue on the table because of fragmented systems and complacency with their current billing processes. Forty-six percent of the survey respondents described their revenue cycle as “good,” but only 25% of respondents are confident that they’re receiving every dollar they’ve earned from the payers. In this webinar, we’ll walk through the research on RCM pain points, the fragmented landscape of clearinghouses, payer portals, and practice management systems, and where the right innovations can make the biggest difference when it comes to helping practices and billing company clients get paid.

Stop the revolving door and learn how to attract and retain high performing employees. People’s attention is harder than ever to capture in our world of shiny new objects and constant stimulation. The grass always looks greener somewhere else. But there are patients to see, claims to be processed, and work to be done. How do practice leaders consistently recruit and retain high quality team members while maintaining financial responsibility? In this session, you will learn to harness the power of culture to build a workplace that people seek out. An environment that draws new people in and invites them to stay is never just an accident. It is built on people, processes, and technology converging intentionally to become more than any one of those could be on its own, no matter how excellent it was. Attendees will learn how to bring these three pillars together such that they are stronger than the sum of their parts.
