Medicare revalidation can be a challenging and evolving process, even for experienced practice managers. A single mistake can jeopardize your provider's ability to receive payment and continue treating Medicare patients. Rejected Medicare revalidations can lead to a loss of Medicare billing privileges (PAR vs. NON-PAR status), which could significantly impact your practice’s revenue, particularly if a large percentage of your patients are Medicare beneficiaries.

This session offers valuable, step-by-step instructions that you can use to streamline your Medicare revalidations, keep providers in good standing with Medicare, and maintain your income stream. Yesenia will provide actionable strategies to help ensure that your practice avoids unnecessary revalidation rejections, keeping revenue uninterrupted.
