This webinar will discuss the basics of insurance coverage, eligibility, and prior authorization to assist providers in obtaining this information from insurance companies to help patients understand what their insurance will pay, and what may be their responsibility. Attendees will learn the differences between a patient’s insurance coverage, eligibility, and prior authorization and then be able to apply their knowledge in their office. Most insurance companies offer different plans that cover different services and procedures. Once an office has verified that a patient is eligible for benefits on a particular day, the coverage will determine what the insurance company will pay, and what may be the responsibility of the patient. We will also look at the ins and outs of contacting the insurance company of prior authorization and what to do in the circumstances when the procedures performed change during the surgery.
