Medicare Advantage can be a valuable option for seniors on a fixed income since the plan mirrors traditional managed care and may help keep costs down. For you, however, choose wisely before joining these networks. Make sure you verify ALL Medicare coverage for maximum efficiency; these plans may pay for otherwise statutorily non-covered services (e.g., exams and therapies). Exploring these plans to find the perfect blend of fee systems and contracted plans for your office will optimize coverage and benefits for your senior patients and result in better client relationships.
PEACE. OF. MIND. Peace of Mind for our office and our patients. I have learned so much on doing things the correct way and have so much more confidence when dealing with insurance and collections. I sleep better at night knowing we are on the right track and have come such a long way. Our staff is more confident in verifying insurance, explaining, and checking people out than ever before. This has given our patients a much better experience and they have more trust in us knowing we understand these things. It is an honor to us when a patient chooses our office. We want to be the best we can be from their initial contact, treatment, and checkout experience. Because of KMCU, our patients now have an even better experience and our office staff take ownership in making that experience as best as possible.
