The Billing Medicare, Tricare and Medicaid course covers, in detail, insurance plans run by both federal and state governments. Medicare usually sets the standards for other insurance companies. This course will go into all four parts of Medicare (A, B, C & D) and explain requirements of Medicare billing. Also covered are the fundamentals of Medicaid insurance and TRICARE. While Medicaid is funded partially by the federal government it is run by the individual states. TRICARE covers those enrolled in the military and their families as well as retired military. Medicare participation, non-participation and opting-out are also explained. Government insurance plans such as Medicare, Tricare and Medicaid can be a little trickier than commercial insurance as there are different regulations. Medicare is extremely strict with the rules on submitting claims and the rules must be followed to insure proper payment. Fully understanding Medicare billing is extremely important in successfully submitting Medicare claims.
Just read Pricing Your Medical Billing Service – Great job loved it! This book is a great help for both the established medical billing service, and those just getting into the business. We can really relate to your experiences with patient billing copay misunderstandings, and some of the stories and antidotes really hit home! For example, when we started out – being to cheap and attracting cheap providers and not having the confidence to charge our worth. Also the story on patient billing and charging on CoPays – we lost a client over this issue also. We’ve had a few submissions to the website asking for advice on pricing, so we look forward to adding to our book page. Again great job! Contributing makes me feel like I’m being useful to the planet.
