AMA webinar to discuss doctors' rights to ensure fair claims processing
Physicians can learn ways to ensure they receive accurate and timely payment for their claims by participating in an AMA webinar scheduled to take place at 1 p.m. Eastern time Oct. 9. Register today.
An experienced health law attorney will discuss legal requirements that entitle physicians to a fair claims process, including deadlines by which health insurers must pay or deny properly submitted claims. The webinar also will explain remedies physicians can pursue if they are dealing with an insurer that isn't processing or paying claims according to state or federal requirements.
This webinar is part of a managed care contracting series taking place on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. Each webinar will examine timely contracting issues to help physicians succeed in today's evolving health care system and will be archived for on-demand viewing.
Visit the AMA Practice Management Center to access resources that can help physicians negotiate fair contracts and navigate relationships with health insurers.
