Health care professionals each year are often providing services for free as a patient’s health insurance company refuses to pay them.

This course will address the claims process and what office staff and clinicians need to do to ensure behavioral health services rendered are paid for. The course will review the “front end” steps that need to be taken by either staff or the clinician before a service is rendered.

The course will also cover the clinical review process and why a clinical review by a payor is triggered.
