Description

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the basis for "usual" and "customary" health care pricing.

2. Discuss the review and audit methodologies for healthcare price determinations.

Case law is passing in various states on entering bills into medical evidence. Combined with determinations and appropriate methodologies in pricing your life care plan, today's LNC must be ready to address both reimbursement issues as well as making usual and customary determinations. This workshop will address these issues for consideration along with pitfalls to avoid in order to become a successful life care planner.
