It's been a year of major changes for Medicare enrollment, from the widespread availability of CMS's online PECOS enrollment system to strict new timeframes for submitting applications.
If you thought it was tough to get through the mazelike Medicare enrollment process before, think again: enrollment is a whole new animal in 2009 and it's not better to deal with.
But there's help: you can learn literally everything you need to know about enrollment, from new rules to tried-and-true tips for filling out CMS-855 forms, at the 2009 Medicare Enrollment Workshop in Denver, Colorado. Now in its 8th year, this is probably the most popular and successful live conference hosted by Part B News.
You'll learn some incredibly valuable things that you'd otherwise only get through experience and potentially making damaging mistakes. Here's a few things we'll cover:
How to sort through the physician assignment and reassignment CMS-855 hurdles.
How every practice is affected by revalidation rules, which apply even if you already bill Medicare and your business hasn't changed much.
The consequences of mistakes, such as losing your billing privileges and how to get them back.
You still have time to sign up and make it happen! Just visit the conference Web site!
