Frustrated by insurance carriers that continue to reduce physicians's reimbursement Searching for new ways to increase your practice revenue and improve compliance
Insurance companies have not only cut compensation rates, they have systematically developed elaborate and arcane systems that make medical billing so complicated that individual
physicians cannot hope to confront the forces arrayed against them, says Dr. Doug Cassel, MD, Board Member and Compliance VP of Vericle, Inc. (http://www.vericle.com), a medical billing network technology company in Marlboro, New Jersey.
Carriers are reducing reimbursement levels to participating providers, and they'sre engaging in guerrilla warfare in the claims/reimbursement process to further forestall and reduce what
they pay physicians for their services, adds Dennis Alessi, Esq, co-chairman of the Health Care Law Department at Mandelbaum and Salsburg, PC, in West Orange, New Jersey.
