Speed Up Credentialing & Reimbursement for New Providers

There are a million details you must get right the first time. Failure to do so can significantly delay your new provider from being eligible to see patients and get paid. Even simple errors can get your set-up/transfer documents thrown out. Then you’ll be required to go through the entire process all over again.

It is vital that your new physician starts to see patients and get paid as soon as possible. You can make this happen by attending this online training presented by practice management expert, David J. Zetter, PHR, SHRM-CP, CHCC, CPCO, CPC, COC, PCS, FCS, CHBC, CMUP, PESC, CMAP, CMAPA, CMMP.
