Have you ever been overwhelmed with denial management? Maybe you are responsible for a list of denied claims or maybe you are responsible for reducing the number of denials.  In today's episode we will reduce the overwhelm by simplifying common denials by breaking them down into what they are, how they are caused, suggestions for resolution and best practice tips for prevention.

In today's Live Q&A we had a great discussion regarding operational challenges with the Good Faith Estimate as required by CMS' No Surprise Act.  We also discussed a challenge that Ashley is having with out of network denials on inpatient procedures stating non-emergent.  As referenced in the recording, Stephanie Thebarge and Ashley Szocinski can both be reached through LinkedIn.  If you are interested in being on the No Surprise Act Panel, please contact me.

Hello friends and welcome to episode 10 of For the Love of Revenue Cycle.   Today’s episode is a continuation of last week’s episode in which my friend Georgi shared with us his experience in starting his own billing company.  This week he is going to share with us how to market a billing company.  The dos and don’ts that he learned firsthand.  If you are thinking about branching out on your own, I think that you will find his tips and resources to be very helpful.  This is not in an interview format.  We decided that due to the nature of the topic, it would be better if he was a solo show.  Is everyone settled in?  Alright, let’s get started

I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to sharing this episode with you. We are taking a little break from our Nuts and Bolts series and will be hearing from a friend of mine.  I met him years ago when I was an officer of the AAPC Des Plaines Local Chapter.  I will let him introduce himself because he will do much better than I.  I’m really looking forward to hearing him tell his story of how he started his billing company.  I personally think it’s quite inspiring.  This is not in an interview format.  We decided that due to the nature of the topic, it would be better if he was a solo show.  Is everyone settled in?  Alright, let’s get started with part 1 of this 2 part series.

In today's live Q&A we discuss some tips to be on the lookout for when sharing and receiving resources on social media, articles, webinars, documents, etc.  

Hello friends and welcome to episode 9 of For the Love of Revenue Cycle.   I am so excited to be back here again with you.  I would like to thank you for tuning back in and I want to give a big welcome to our new listeners.   This episode is the first segment of part 6 in a 7-part series on the Nuts and Bolts of Revenue Cycle.  Due to the amount of content regarding denials, I decided to split part 6 up into two segments.  Today’s episode will be about denial management and then next week’s episode will be about how to resolve and prevent top denials. For those of you who may just be joining us, we have been walking through the steps of the physician revenue cycle (more details are in episode 1). The content is focused on how we can streamline processes for better efficiency and to reduce denials. Basically, we’re talking about best practices that will bring in the revenue.  Is everyone settled in?  Alright, let’s get started! 

In this live Q&A, we discuss in more detail some of the topics that Elisa Garn and I discussed in the most recent episode.  We talked about how to create positivie work environments and how to effectively work with direct reports that we may not see eye-to-eye with. Finally, we discussed the advantages of managing teams with a more "human" approach then "employee" approach.

I am so thrilled that Elisa Garn was willing to share her expertise in human resources and recruiting with us today.  I hope that you find this conversation as interesting and helpful as I did. I learned so much!  Before we get started, let me tell you a little bit about Elisa. Elisa has 15+ years of experience with HR, with an expertise in modern, progressive and human-centric strategy. She specializes in personal branding, employer branding and creating work environments that foster belonging and best-of-class cultures which set people free to do great work. 

Here are the books she recommended:

Power of Influence by Ty Bennett

Range by David Epstein

Quiet by Susan Cain

In this Q&A we discussed the No Surprise Bill Act.

Hello friends and welcome to episode 7 of For the Love of Revenue Cycle.   I am so excited to be back here again with you.  I would like to thank you for tuning back in and I want to give a big welcome to our new listeners.   I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to sharing this episode with you. We are taking a little break from our Nuts and Bolts series and hosting our first subject matter expert.  So exciting.  Today’s expert is Stephanie Thebarge.  I hope that you find this conversation about her career path and about infusion auditing and billing to be as interesting as I did.  We also through a bit about compliance in there, too.  I certainly learned a lot and I hope that you will too.
