Getting Paid in Behavioral Healthcare

ICD-10. ACA. Parity.
 
These “new” concerns, as well as ongoing issues regarding third-party reimbursement, occupy much of providers daily responsibilities. “Getting paid” in behavioral healthcare means:
 
  • Getting clients in the door
  • Providing reimbursable services
  • Ensuring payers remit within a reasonable time frame
 
Successful organizations are not only finding ways to ensure they have robust finances, they’re also attracting the interest of investors looking to help them grow their operations.
Behavioral Healthcare magazine has organized a panel of experts to discuss relevant issues facing providers of all stripes in mental health, substance use, and eating disorder treatment organizations: residential treatment centers, IOP settings, sober living homes, and private practices, among others.
 
Upon attending this course attendees will be able to:
 
  • Understand the impact of government regulations on reimbursement
  • Address how marketing practices ultimately affect the bottom line
  • Explore new technological opportunities available to provider organizations
One hour of continuing education credit will be available.

William is a highly experienced healthcare professional with comprehensive skills in strategic planning, sales, compliance, operational management and implementation. Throughout his professional career, he has demonstrated the ability to lead diverse teams of professionals to new levels of success.
Since joining Medivance in 2012, the company has grown from 43 staff members to a team now approaching 160 full time employees all trained in behavioral health and toxicology services. In 2015, under McCormick’s leadership, Medivance adjudicated nearly a $1Billion dollars in transmitted claims from all levels of care plus toxicology services to all the different payors. For those who know Bill, his passion of “challenging us to collaborate as providers of care, rather than being providers of competition” is his trademark request as an advocate because he believes the only competitor we have in behavioral health is the disease of Addiction itself and not us as individual providers, treatment programs or professional service companies.
