Billing 101 Webinar Series for Health Centers

The National Association for Community Health Centers will be sponsoring a series of webinars on how health care reform impacts reimbursement at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Co-sponsored by Priority Management Group (PMG), the Billing 101 Webinar Series seeks to provide guidance on the following:

• an overview of the new coding systems that you’ll use as coverage expands and new rules for pre existing conditions come into effect;
• benchmarking tools to analyze existing operations and FQHC billing best practices
• an understanding of the changes in payment methodology for Medicare; and
• approaches to successfully managing new and increased revenue opportunities.
