De-Mystifying Health Reform, Managed Care and Joining Insurance Panels: How Behavioral Health Funding Works and How to Make it Work for You
Presented by Jim Clarkson
8:30 am to 5 pm
Six continuing education credits
This presentation will offer administrators, managers, clinicians and front line staff a behind the scenes look at how managed care and insurance companies work and will provide concrete strategies to maximize provider opportunities in the current behavioral health landscape and with the advent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We will provide an understanding of the health reform law along with various models of reimbursement, partnership strategies, evidence-based practices, performance incentives as well as describing how innovative community partnerships, engagement of clients, clinical practice, data collection/EHRs and billing practice can all align for sustainability and financial strength. We will walk through an actual application to join a behavioral health provider panel and provide strategies for addressing barriers and overcoming common negative responses from the provider relations departments of managed care regarding new provider applications.
Each participant will have the opportunity to discuss their unique questions and curiosities in a safe environment about a topic that is often confusing and ever-changing - with a former managed care executive who also has a background as an addiction professional - and get help developing an action plan to implement strategies discussed in the seminar. Although the topic is serious and often detailed -the presenter always tries to inform, engage, inspire and describe examples of how recovery and wellness both personally and professionally are key signposts to how well an agency can grow and thrive fiscally.
Registration for the NAADAC 2013 Annual Pre-Conference includes a pre-conference session, continental breakfast and breaks.
Maximum CEs for October 11: six hours
