The Perfect 1500 Claim Form - Webinar

Tue, 13 Jul 2010

The Perfect 1500 Claim Form – Webinar
Speaker: Kristen Curtis, DC, MCS-P

We all dread that letter we get from the insurance company demanding our records or getting an EOB back from the insurance company that says they are not paying for the services that were billed because they were not medically necessary. I receive a lot of calls from doctors wondering why they are having records requested or why charges have been denied. Many times the reason is how the 1500 claim form was filled out. It is important to remember that the only way a doctor initially communicates a patient’s need for care to a third party payer is though the 1500 claim form. It is important to have a clean 1500 claim form. The 1500 claim form should tell a summarized story on the patient’s condition and how that patient is being treated.

In this webinar Dr. Curtis will discuss:

1. The importance of diagnosis linking
2. Which box needs to be updated on a regular basis
3. Red Flags
4. Hierarchy of codes
5. And much more

Debt Recovery Solutions for a Bottom Line World - Webinar

Debt Recovery Solutions for a Bottom Line World – Webinar
Speaker: Craig Houser
Sponsored by:
Grabowski Law Center, LLCC

Extraordinary patient care, overall feeling of patient satisfaction, patient retention and referral business; these are some of the paramount goals of managing a small to medium size health related business. However, did you realize that once an account becomes 90 days overdue, a business is likely to receive only 73 cents for every dollar owed? After 6 months, the amount drops to 50 cents on every dollar and down to 25 cents after one year.

Although each chiropractic facility may have a varied business practice on extending credit to patients, there are instances when outstanding receivables become difficult to collect for an array of reasons.

The Grabowski Law Center, LLC (www.glc-law.com) concentration for the past 23 years has solely centered on the collection of consumer and commercial collection. The law firm has worked closely with Chiropractors throughout Illinois to assist with outstanding bad debt collection resulting in an impressive recovery rate. Craig Houser, Managing Attorney and Deneen Spaniol, Director of Client Development both from Grabowski Law Center, LLC will provide an informational and educational overview on the collection process as it relates to outstanding accounts receivable. Additionally, the topic of the litigation process and how it is a successful option to the recovery of delinquent debt will be explored in detail. Craig Houser brings over 23 years of legal experience to the webinar.
