Program Description
It is estimated that most organizations can recoup 3 to 5 percent of annual revenues through effective denial management. This webinar explains the importance of a "Physician Advisor" within a health care organization, especially as it relates to reducing length of stay, managing resource utilization, and overturning denials through concurrent appeals. The presenters will share best practice strategies for denial prevention, including recommended case management processes, utilization of workflow technology plus related managed care contracting tips.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:
- Review the benefits of applying technology to the concurrent review process and how to establish accountability for increased morale.
- Learn how to use business intelligence analytics to spot and cure root causes of denials.
- Explore how to expand the traditional role of the physician advisor into an expanded leadership position.
- Discuss methods for establishing communication between case management/UR, physician advisors and payer.
- Learn how to prevent denials through a revenue cycle approach – involving patient access, documentation, case management, and patient financial services.
