This one-hour webinar by Don Self, CEO of CPC, CEMCS, and CPCS, will surprise even the most experienced manager or biller with the illegal tactics that insurance carriers use almost every day but are believed by most to be legal. Expert Don will help you learn how to fight for and protect the patient’s rights effectively and have their claims paid properly to you, the medical professional. We will not only show you what they are doing that is illegal or unethical but also where to find the laws or regulations and how to stop them from these unfair practices. This affects not only clinics but also hospitals, therapy centers, and all medical professionals. Every single provider dealing with insurance or Medicare plans is being misled daily, and this webinar will open your eyes and give you the tools you need.
