Front Desk Education for Insurance Billing Success

This course highlights the critical role of a Front Desk CA in successful insurance billing. Industry metrics reveal that a significant portion of claims denials stem from improper Front End Revenue Cycle Management procedures, much of which is handled by the front desk, not the billing department. This one-hour webinar, led by Lisa Maceijewski-West, will cover essential topics such as understanding different insurance plan types and their special handling, correctly reading an insurance card, accurately profiling primary and secondary insurance in billing software, verifying benefits, and answering common insurance questions. Participants will also learn about the 'Garbage in Garbage out' concept to ensure data accuracy from the start.
