Webinar Objectives

It is the responsibility of the practices and staff to know and understand new rules and regulations.  Therapy has been under some auditing scrutiny by some insurance companies over the past several years.  To avoid making mistakes, this session will get right to the updates so that you can implement them in your practice when they are valid in January 1st.  There are on grace periods, so following these guidelines are crucial on January 1st.
