QMC Keynote Speakers Series: Understanding the Medicare Fee Schedule
3:00 PM (EST)
Medicare payments are a big portion of many EMS agency’s cash flow, accounting for 50%, 60% and in some parts of the United States as much as 70% or more of the payer mix. While we all know that Medicare payments change each year, do we really understand how those payments are calculated. In this QMC webinar, we’ll explain…
- The history of Medicare payments and how the National Medicare Ambulance Fee Schedule came to be.
- The alphabet soup of Medicare payments- attendees will learn the meaning of RVU, CF, GPCI, AIF, CPI-U and MFP are and how they affect the amount of dollars you receive.
- How government sequestration affects ambulance payments.
- Lesser payments for transporting ESRD patients.
- How co-payments and deductibles are applied and how billing is completed for those amounts after Medicare pays.
It’s everything you ever wanted to know about Medicare payments but were afraid to ask. We hope you’ll join us for this informative webinar opportunity!
