New government regulations make YOU responsible for the accuracy of your in-network payer directory listings – every 90 days, or risk having your payer contracts terminated.
Failure to comply can mean that you’ve committed fraud, the payer will be fined, and those fines passed on to you. Plus, any patient who relies on incorrect provider information can legally come to you for reimbursement of differences between in and out-of-network services.
This issue is fraught with operational, legal and financial challenges — but fortunately, you don’t have to figure it out all on your own…
This is where practice management expert, David J. Zetter, PHR, SHRM-CP, CHCC, CPCO, CPC, COC, PCS, FCS, CHBC, CMUP, PESC, CMAP, CMAPA, CMMP, can help. During his online training, David will provide you with actionable step-by-step tactics to help you more easily and compliantly create and manage your payer provider directory listings, so you don’t violate these new rules stipulated in the No Surprises Act.
Here are just a few of the questions you’ll get answered to by attending this 60-minute online training:
- What are your responsibilities if a provider leaves your practice or takes a leave of absence?
- What if the payer fails to send out an attestation reminder?
- Are you required to have processes in place to stay on top of your directory listing?
