Denials Management, Winning the Battle of Low Pays, No Pays, and Stall Tactics
(Thursday, July 31, 2008 1 pm EST/12 pm CST/11 am MST/10 am PST)
Program Description:
In today's practice management setting, providers face diminishing margins and increased costs as a result of third-party payer requirements. The variability in denials across the US has made it difficult for many practices to identify key areas of impact, and implement process improvements to enhance revenue. Silent PPO's, downcoding, and other payer tactics are addressed in this program. This web conference provides the strategies needed to develop a practice-specific starting point for process improvement. Participants will learn how to interpret denials patterns and translate the information into denial prevention strategies.

Leveraging Your EMR and PMS Technology: Making it Worth the Investment
(Thursday, October 2, 2008 1 pm EST/12 pm CST/11 am MST/10 am PST)
Program Description:
Technology requires a significant investment in your practice, but how do you ensure that you are getting the most for your money? Electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management system (PMS) integration can result in significant increased efficiencies and revenue through a more connected system, along with immediate access to the providers. Your systems most likely come chocked full of promises to create practice efficiencies, reduce labor costs, simplify lab interfaces, capture and report data, improve quality, simplifying billing, expedite reimbursement, and more. In this program, you will learn how to identify essential business and clinical functions to realize the efficiencies of an EMR system. Participants will learn to construct and use a return-on-investment tool in their practice, and understand the roles of physician and administration in the process.
