From the questions that I receive via email and on the Med-Mgrs listserv, we've noticed that alot of people have questions about the enrollment process with Medicare, PECOS, how to get credentialed with PPOs and other payers and how to negotiate contracts. In fact, it's absolutely AMAZING how many physicians have NO IDEA that they can negotiate contracts. They believe they are totally powerless - which is ridiculous! Physicians have alot more power and strength to deal with PPOs and insurance companies once they are educated on it. To sign whatever contract the payer presents is like paying list price at a car dealership. 

We also see alot of questions on how to collect at the time of service, what patient statements should say, when you are allowed to collect, what the laws say about collecting or past due statements and who should collect. On many occasions, I have witnessed front desk or check out personnel not even asking for the co-pay or Medicare co-insurance when the patient did NOT have co-insurance, Medigap or Secondary policies.

For this reason, we scheduled TWO online seminars (webinars) in February. You can register for either or both at my store at DON'S WEB SHOP.
