Practice Management Presentations
Most successful nutrition practices today consist of a diverse client mix. Some clients pay for services out of pocket and others are covered by private insurance. In these three presentations, RDs will learn how payer mix impacts their revenue flow. RDs will learn how to complete a superbill for self-pay clients or clients who submit claims to health plans for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses. RDs will hear from insurance industry experts about how to navigate the process of credentialing (enrollment) for direct reimbursement from third party payers.
