  • Learn how to keep track of each claim to avoid letting revenue you’ve earned slip through the cracks.

  • Clients can be just as confused by Medicare and Medicare Advantage as you, which means they can give you the wrong information. Know what to ask to ensure you always have the correct information from the start to avoid errors that lead to rejection and delays.

  • Oh boy, this is such a pain and so simple to rectify. Understanding how to identify cards to ensure claims are processed properly will do a world of good for your revenue.

Introduction to Medicare Credentialing

As you are painfully aware, you can’t collect Medicare without credentialing.

This can feel like a daunting task if you aren’t familiar with the process OR have tried and failed. I walk you through the process step-by-step and ensure you have the correct documents to submit your application successfully.

This allows you to overcome common challenges such as:

  • There are two options for people with Medicare: Traditional Medicare and the Medicare Advantage plan. Understanding this will ensure you apply properly to all the necessary payors.

  • Again, with the supplemental insurance! Gaps lead to issues if you don’t let clients know that their deductible is going to reset and you don’t have the proper information on whether their Plan F, G or N supplement covers it or not.

  • It’s not enough to have all your documents ready. You also have to ensure your NPI, your clinical license, bank account information, address, malpractice insurance, etc., has consistent information right down to how your business name appears on all relevant documents. I’ll show you how to get your ducks in a row before you apply.

This course addresses the challenges that lead to confusion on your part and rejection on the payors part, including:

  • What is Medicare and who provides services?

  • The 4 Parts of Medicare

  • Various Medicare Plans

  • Traditional Medicare vs Medicare Advantage

  • Medigap Plans

  • Traditional Medicare, Supplements, and more

  • Credentialing Resources

  • Fee Schedule
