| You are a specialist. Why would you hire a billing company that does not know your business or specialty? We have a board of Insurance Experts, Doctors and Accountants. Not only does our team collectively boast over 100 years of insurance billing experience, but we are constantly updating our staff on the latest podiatry-specific insurance contract codes and modifiers to use for optimum reimbursement.
Meet Dr. Douglas Stoker
You have most likely already seen or heard of Dr Stoker. A podiatrist since 1974, Dr. Stoker lectures frequently for the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. His unmatched credentials include department-head, chief-of-staff positions at respected hospitals, service as chair of several national committees on podiatric medicine, and medical consultant to a number of insurance carriers. Dr Stoker has a wealth of experience in understanding all aspects of Podiatry Practice as well as the Health Insurance Industry.
Dr Stoker advises Podiatrists on how to optimize their insurance contract, and shares his insight into the Insurance Industry with us. Look out for his monthly tips.
Guidelines for New Patient Visits in NF/SNF
Physicians who provide care to residents in nursing and skilled nursing facilities need to be aware of specific guidelines regarding new patients seen at these facilities. Medicare will no longer recognize “PRN” or “standing orders” as acceptable sources for a specialist seeing new patients in these facilities. The order for podiatry care must come from the patient, the patient’s family or the attending physician and not directly from the nursing staff. A copy of the request must be kept in the patient’s record. As with all visits, proper documentation is necessary to meet Medicare guidelines for reimbursement.
