Congress gives you more and more chances each year to bill Medicare for the preventive services it hopes will save money down the road. But each preventive benefit added to Medicare comes with an array of confusing billing rules, including patient eligibility periods and determining high risk status.
If you can get a handle on the rules and streamline the processes to bill them properly you’ll start capturing the revenue for these services with no fuss, no muss. After this session, you’ll be ready and able to do just that.
BONUS TOOL: A free chart spelling out each Medicare-covered

before scheduling and billing services. It is also helpful for
training your staff.
