Registration deadline March 8, 2018.

LifeSpan Care Management has successfully collaborated on insurance appeals for Medicare, Medicaid, commercial health insurance, long term disability insurance, and long-term care insurance over the last 12 years of practice. Since the Affordable Care Act provision that mandates that care be covered while an insurance appeal is filed, there is an opportunity for care advocates to show value to their clients, with ROI’s upwards of 40/1. An understanding of insurance coverage, clinical care, and validated outcomes measurement tools enables successful advocacy for clients and families who are denied coverage.

Objectives:

1. The participant will be able to discuss methods that determine appropriate care recommendations using clinical outcomes measurement tools.
2. The participant will be able to articulate how coverage determinations are made with regard to covered services.
3. The participant will be conversant with the process issues regarding first, second, and final appeals.
4. The participant will be able to describe how a Life Care Plan can affect covered services.
