The answer to getting your claims accurately paid and keeping your patients happy lies with your front office staff. Their ability to correctly and completely collect the necessary information from your patients at check-in is the key.
Sure, it sounds easy enough: just ask some questions, get some paperwork filled out, and collect information from their insurance card, right? WRONG. If your front desk check-in team doesn’t have a firm understanding of why and how to get the data you need, you can count on it being incomplete or incorrect.
The good news is that customer service and front desk management expert, Pam Joslin, MM, CMC, CMIS, CMOM, CMCO, CEMA, CMCA-E/M, can help. During her online training, she’ll provide targeted, step-by-step strategies to help your front desk staff understand how the patient data they collect is used and the consequences of getting it wrong. Pam will also provide a breakdown of the information on the top 10 insurance cards (front and back), so your front desk staff can collect the patient information you need faster and more efficiently.
Here are just a few of the proven strategies your front desk team will receive by viewing this training:
- Boost information accuracy with proven insurance card identifiers from the top 10 carriers
