Emergency Department Directors Academy - Phase I 2015

Most emergency departments generate money the old fashioned way – they earn it by caring for patients. The key is to convince the payers that the providers are due reimbursement for the clinical services provided. Several basic principles of documentation, E/M coding, CPT definitions, RVUs, billing, charge structure, write-offs, bad-debt, accountability, compliance, etc., will be discussed. Several time tested methods of improving reimbursement will be discussed, as will be methods to monitor your ED’s performance in this critical area. Additionally, the presenter will identify and suggest how to prevent billing, coding, and supervision issues subject to fraud and abuse.

EDDA Phase I, a 4 ½-day didactic course featuring expert faculty. This phase provides the foundation for the remainder of the Academy and establishes a bond among the participants who continue communication through an exclusive e-list of participants and faculty. Networking receptions are provided at the end of each day to allow extended time with faculty and colleagues.
