How to Make Money for Your Practice:
Billing for Patient Education
Priti Mody-Bailey, MD, MA, Community Medical Associates, The University Health System, Community First Health Plan, San Antonio, Tex., and Rebecca Jaffe, MD, Wilmington, Del.
Patient education is valued by most in medicine but often difficult to justify and incorporate in practice due to financial constraints. Escalating health costs have forced a search for new ways to manage patient education. Through innovative thought and collaboration, several practices have successfully sought reimbursement for patient education services. Their strategies will be discussed in this session. Patient education, when it is discerned as “medically necessary,” is a reimbursable component of care and more importantly, can improve outcomes. Attendees will learn how to bill for patient education and make money for their practices.
Fee: $95
