ED visits failing your payers' "true emergency" test? Here's how to get paid anyhow.
Tired of being in a tug-of-war between your local payers and federal government mandates? On the one hand, you have to comply with EMTALA and examine all patients who come to your emergency department for treatment. On the other hand, your local payers don't want to pay for those visits that don't pass their "true emergency" test. The good news: You don't have to let your EMTALA compliance hurt your bottom line. Join our expert speaker Caral Edelberg for this information-packed 1-hour audio session to get all the tips and best practices you need to ensure that your payers are reimbursing you every dollar you deserve.
Here's what you will learn:
- Top EMTALA and medical necessity buzzwords you should have in your documentation.
- Who do you really need to treat under EMTALA? The answer may surprise you.
- Find out exactly which areas of the hospital EMTALA extends to.
- The difference between a "screening examination" under EMTALA and the usual treatment you provide.
- Proven advice and talking points for when payers deny your claims for EMTALA-mandated services.
- How to pin down medical necessity in your documentation for screening examinations.
Have additional questions about EMTALA's impact on your hospital's bottom line? You can ask the expert speaker during an interactive Q&A session.
