As COVID-19 continues to plague the health care industry and the economy, money is tight and making sure you are collecting and keeping every dollar due is paramount. Polsinelli’s Reimbursement Institute team will help health care entities strategize about common billing, collections and audit issues in order to help limit recoupments and refunds, while effectively appealing denied or short-pay claims. Presenters will provide specific examples on how to navigate these issues in order to maximize your entity’s government reimbursement. This webinar is meant for finance and revenue cycle executives, and the legal and compliance teams that support them.
