A Complete Guide By Cynthia Flint Bestani

Dealing effectively with insurance is essential to the stability and growth of any practice. It's part of integrated health care. Patients have quit care, not necessarily because the provider's care was inept, but because of unclear insurance and financial handling. Success with Insurance awakens you and your office staff to the importance of clear procedure and provides guidelines for verifying coverage, proper billing, reporting, and follow-up, and optimizing payment.
Size: 8.5" x 11." Pages: 330 text & example forms. See
