Get Paid for Out-of-Network Denied Services with New Federal IDR Process

Finally, you can get paid for more of your out-of-network services – even if your claims are denied. The catch is that you must master CMS’ recently implemented Federal IDR process (Independent Dispute Resolution).

Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong.

The new IDR process is complex and confusing. In fact, CMS recently reported that 90% of the over 90,000 disputes were related to CPT codes, and most were submitted with missing or incorrect information – meaning that they are not getting paid. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With a bit of expert help, you can successfully maneuver your way through the complexities of the new IDR process and get more of your out-of-network services paid.

Luckily, healthcare attorneys Daphne Kackloudis, Esq. and Ashley Watson, Esq. can help. Daphne and Ashley are presenting a 60-minute online training that will take you through the complete IDR process one step at a time. This online training will help you submit your out-of-network claim disputes into the IDR process portal correctly the first time and get you paid for these services more quickly.

Here are just a few of the plain-English IDR process tactics questions you’ll get answered by attending this 60-minute online training:

• What is the deadline to formally request an open negotiation?
• What information is necessary to qualify for the IDR process initiation?
• What are the formalized IDR notice requirements?
• How long is the open negotiation period, and who is responsible for its initiation?
• What items should you include when calculating your offer?
