Are you considering taking insurance to jump start your acupuncture practice? Here are some things to consider that I bet you didn’t learn in school.
Are you a new practitioner and getting ready to launch your clinical practice? Maybe you are not so new, worked for someone else and are now ready to experience the entrepreneurial life. Taking insurance might help you get to financial stability much more quickly…. depending on where you live.
I interview Cortney Nadeau in this episode who owns PDXpert Medical Billing in Portland, Oregon. I learned SO much and am excited to share with you information that we did NOT get in school.
you’ll learn
- Why most billing companies don’t want to work with you.
- What credentialing means and how and where to do it.
- Why you should be familiar with your “scope of practice” and the people who wrote it.
- Why it’s important to belong to your state organization.
- What diagnosis, CPT and E&M codes are.
- Why it’s important to have a non-discriminatory policy for providers in your state’s regulations.
- How to find out if your state has a non-discriminatory policy for providers.
- Lastly, we do a deep dive on our treatment codes. They are time based, but should also be treatment based.
