DESCRIPTION:Commonly Confused Modifiers: Common Scenarios of Misuse and How to Use Them Properly\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, September 20\, 2022  |  11:00am — 12:00pm CDT\nPresented by: RevCycle Partners billing experts\n \nDescription: \nWhen a medical claim is a denied\, one of the first things to check for is a missing or misused modifier combination. It’s easy to mix up modifiers. Unfortunately\, mix-ups can lead to delays in payments or\, in some cases\, nonpayment. Worse\, they might trigger an audit that can lead to hefty fines. \nThe webinar will cover: \n\nThe definition of the modifier\, and how to ensure the use is meeting medical necessity;\nBilling modifiers that are more commonly misunderstood\, like modifiers 25\, 24 and 59;\nHow misuse could be a red flag and possibly cause an audit;\nA few billing scenarios of when the commonly confused modifiers are used properly; and\nTips of when to never use these modifiers.\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Webinar: Execute To Win ~ 9:00am Pacific/12:00pm Eastern
DESCRIPTION:Execute To Win\nDate & Time: Wednesday\, July 27\, 2022 | 9:00am — 10:00am PT\nPresented by: Chad Fleming OD\, FAAO\, CEO & Owner at Wichita Optometry\nSponsored by: Weave \n  \nCourse Description: \n\n\n\n\nGroupthink is a common problem that arises from the lack of outside input and a continual thought process that is neither challenged or recreated. It occurs when optometrists meet with other optometrists who meet with consultants within optometry. Like minded individuals run the risk of groupthink pitfalls. We must be different and think beyond optometry to save our practices from slowly eroding profit margins. \nIn this webinar we will focus on: \n\nWhat should you be focusing on in your practice to be more profitable?\nDoes it make sense to look outside optometry and capitalize in the optical by utilizing an “in-house” brand? If so\, is it easy to do?\nIs the investment in patient engagement software worth it? If so\, what do you look for?\nHow do you make more money without working even harder than you already do?\nHow do you get some time back in your life?\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW \n\nAbout Your Presenter\nChad Fleming OD\, FAAO\, CEO & Owner at Wichita Optometry \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Fleming graduated from Northeastern State University Oklahoma College of Optometry in 2002. Upon graduating he went into private practice and is now CEO of a 9 doctor 5-location practice\, Wichita Optometry\, in Wichita\, KS. Along with practicing optometry\, Dr. Fleming has worked as a consultant for Rev360\, illuma\, Weave\, JJVC\, iMatrix\, SolutionReach\, AOAExcel\, and he is the founder of OptometryCEO and Partners In Profit. He has been featured in numerous professional journals and The Wall Street Journal. When Dr. Fleming is not involved in optometry he spends time with his wife of 25 years and their 3 children.
