Are you thinking about joining a Managed Care Network?
The two most common Managed Care Networks include:
1. Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)-HMOs often require a referral from a primary care provider and care must be delivered by HMO-approved provider.
2. Preferred Provider Organizations Patients have options to select a provider without a referral. Providers chosen in-network lower the cost to the patient compared to choosing a provider out-of-network.
As an acupuncturist there are several things to take into consideration when making this decision.
1. Is the plan exclusive (no reimbursement outside of network)?
2. Is the reimbursement reasonable based on time spent with patient?
3. Will the managed care plan provide new and potential patients?
4. Is the paperwork and authorization process easy or tedious?
When choosing to join an HMO or PPO it is important to stay on top of the latest changes in billing and coding.
Thankfully, American Acupuncture Council Network (AACN) is the expert with over 3 decades of experience in dealing with a wide range of acupuncture billing issues.
