2:15 PM - 3:15 PM
Michael Flora, MBA, MAEd - Senior Management and Operations Consultant
As states and their managed care companies tip-toe into “value-based” payment, mental health and addiction organizations need to shift their clinical, back office and front office operations to meet payer expectations. Organizations must define an episode of care including authorization and re-authorization practices, develop collection and co-pay processes and develop systems that generate reports that illustrate value through measurement of outcomes and attainment of goals. Critical to success are strategies for staff recruitment, retention, performance and leadership development. Attend this very rich session and learn to be “value-based” and an employer of choice!
Learning Objectives:
· Define proven strategies in back office readiness to meet payer demands
· Recall how to improve work flows for efficiency in billing operations
