Billing Strategies

Discussion Outline:

This dinner will focus on practice management as it relates to billing. PECAA’s Billing & Coding Manager Teri Thurston will be in attendance and will be available to answer any questions you may have. Together, we’ll be discussing:

• Do you use an outsourced billing company, or do you keep your billing in-house?
• If in-house, what kinds of training do you provide for your billing staffer?
• What courses have you taken to better educate yourself and your staff on billing/coding techniques?
• What resources have you found to help determine how often a patient can be seen or what tests can be run for specific diagnoses and conditions?
• What information is collected from your patients prior to arrival?
• What resources are used to determine insurance coverage and benefits?
• Does staff determine both medical and vision eligibly and benefits for each visit? Even if the patient schedules for a vision exam?
• Does staff determine whether you are a participating provider, patient out-of-pocket responsibilities and coordination of care?
• Do you code each visit and then submit to your biller, or do you have someone else in the office do the coding for you?
• Do you have a process to check your coding and charting for errors on a regular basis in- house?

This dinner is open to both doctors and staff.

We hope to see you there!
