Medical necessity has been identified as one of the top culprits. Accordingly, the quality of your medical necessity documentation is more important now than ever, and that is where EMS claims expert, Maggie Adams, comes in. During her 60-minute training session, she’ll provide you with what specifically meets medical necessity documentation to increase your payments, decrease denials, and most importantly head off a costly and stressful audit (and survive one should you get audited).
