I am doing some research into the most common pediatric codes in order to set up a spread/worksheet for use during an insurane negotiation. Lots of “consultants” routinely make the mistake of suggesting that you look at your top 10 or, more daringly,...
In my final installment from Bonnie regarding screening payment challenges, here is a sample Vision Screening Waiver used in a Real Live Pediatric Practice with success. We have already reviewed an Audiogram Appeal Letter and a Typanometry Appeal Let...
Over the next 2.5 weeks, I am on vacation. Sadly, in my pathetic world, that means I will be still reading email and even, perhaps, posting to the blog. In order to stretch out my effort, I am going to run a series of quick appeal letters and a patie...

If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
