As a healthcare provider, outsourcing your medical billing can make things run smoother and more efficient, but if you’re not careful, it can also open the door to some serious compliance and financial risks. In this session we will break down what you really need to know before signing up with a third-party billing company. We’ll cover what to look for in a billing partner, terms that need to be in your contract, common red flags to avoid, and how to keep oversight in place after the contract is executed.
Whether you’re thinking about outsourcing for the first time or just want to take a fresh look at your current setup, this session will give you the tools to protect your practice and make smart, informed decisions.
Attendees will leave this session with a strong foundational understanding of how to evaluate and select a billing company with compliance and performance in mind, navigate the contracting process to protect your practice, meet regulatory requirements, and define mutual expectations. This session will also include discussions about how to identify red flags in a billing company that could put your revenue or compliance at risk.
