Overview of the webinar

With the HIPAA Act of 1996, insurance companies were required to utilize the standard list of denial and remark codes when processing claims. It is up to the office to verify that denials received are appropriate and interpret remark codes to further understand the denial. This webinar will assist those just entering the medical billing or those that have experience and knowledge and want to get some new ideas. Insurance companies rely a lot on computers for processing claims, so there are times when claims are denied in error. It is important to not only recognize the errors but to know what to do
