Join Beth as she presents at the Cape Cod Symposium on Addictive Disorders in Hyannis, MA!
Presentation Details:
Between the years of 1999 and 2016, the rate of drug overdose deaths tripled in the United States (CDC, 2017), and the national suicide rate increased 28% (NIMH, 2018). Thousands are in need of appropriate and medically-necessary mental health treatment, and insurance authorizations are part of this equation… lives depend on our client advocacy skills. Join Elizabeth Irias, LMFT, a guru in Utilization Review, for an engaging presentation that provides critical strategies to improve concurrent review outcomes in an ethically- and legally-sound manner. As a result of implementing the methods Elizabeth presents, providers report an improvement in the length of treatment authorizations by 15% to 20%, as well as improvements in overall clinical documentation quality and auditing outcomes. This presentation offers key information about managed care systems and Utilization Review-related laws, including the effect of clinical documentation on auditing results ("If it's not in the chart, it didn't happen.") and sentinel incident or legal investigations. Join this presentation to sharpen your skills and better help your clients in need.
