Clinical Legal Partnerships to Overturn More Denials
Presented by AHDAM.org | 4/7/2021
Summary: In response to payers overturning fewer and fewer denials in the face of appeals clearly proving the medical necessity of care provided to patients, providers should consider a Clinical-Legal Dispute Resolution approach.
A multi-disciplinary team at AppealMasters is finding new-found success using a variety of innovative methods to compel insurers to re-open and pay previously closed and upheld claims. Learn strategies such as involving state Departments of Insurance, CMS, and the Department of Labor for ERISA governed claims.
As insurers too often enjoy an unlevel playing field when it comes to denying care, appeal experts Brian McGraw and Kendall Smith share what is working for their clients. Revenue Cycle, Managed Care and Clinical Appeal Specialists will learn new appeal strategies to increase overturns and protect their hard-earned revenue.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Identify the first step in implementing state Insurance Department actions for egregious denials that are unfounded and not clinically supported.
- Identify one federal provider protection that can be utilized in technical, medical necessity and clinical validation appeals.
- Identify two avenues beyond the Payer Appeal procedures to escalate the decision outside of the Payer’s court of opinion.
- Identify the state agency that regulates the state medical insurance laws that can be utilized to buttress clinical appeals.
