Overview: As the healthcare industry moves toward a value based reimbursement model rather than fee for service, it is crucial that the provider and ancillary staff understand how ineffective reporting can lead to dollars lost. We will review the 3 critical areas that require skilled management. Understand that patients are more educated about their healthcare and are increasingly responsible for more out of pocket costs. High dollar deductibles may result in self pay realities and bad debt increases. Learn areas that increase your chances for an audit. Are you ready for the challenge? Why should you Attend: Revenue is dependent upon proficiency in multiple areas. In today's environment, it is risky to maintain the status quo and increasingly important to obtain and maintain skilled business staff. The granularity of the ICD-10 code set requires understanding of the official coding conventions and guidelines, the ability to apply those guidelines, and the ability to recognize when reporting may lead to revenue delay, reduction or loss. Additionally, other factors affect your revenue stream. This includes patients with high deductible plans, collection of much more than a small co-pay, and staff understanding of regulations that govern telephone collection activity. Don't leave money on the table or invite an audit into your practice. Audits are often the result of weak billing and coding skills. This program will review several areas that will cost you money if poorly handled. Areas Covered in the Session: Required specificity in coding Documentation necessary for ICD-10 reporting Why coders must frequently query for clarification How ambiguous diagnosis reporting affects you r bottom line Internal collections versus outsourcing.

Vitamins are very important as they are the building blocks of life. The human body consists mainly of water and it is vitally important that we get enough vitamins to keep us healthy. Vitamins are fat-soluble, which means that the substance inside them is unable to dissolve in the fluid of the blood (plasma) so these vitamins must be taken through food. Vitamins and minerals are found in abundance in fruits and vegetables but to receive all the benefits of these foods, it is best to eat a wide variety of them. Fresh fruits and vegetables have the highest concentration of vitamins and minerals than any other type of food. Emergence of Covid-19 has led to high demand for vitamin C, thereby propelling growth of the global vitamins market. For instance, globally, as of 5:40pm CET, 12 January 2021, there have been 89,707,115 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 1,940,352 deaths, as reported to the World Health Organization.

For instance, in March 2020, Bayer collaborated with Direct Relief and Feeding America to donate one million products that including over-the-counter medications and multivitamins to ease the burden COVID-19 on healthcare systems.
