Fraud-Free Private Practice: Insurance Fraud Risks & What YOU Can Do NOW Avoid Them!
Let’s be real—billing isn’t something most therapists were formally trained in.
If you’ve been picking up tips from supervisors and colleagues, some of the billing practices you were taught are actually unethical and you may be unknowingly committing insurance fraud.
This no-shame webinar will help you spot common billing mistakes that qualify as fraud and answer your questions—the ones you’ve been afraid to ask and the ones you didn’t know to ask.
In this training, you'll learn:
6 common types of insurance fraud and what you can do NOW to avoid them.
Ethical billing practices for common scenarios like sliding scales, late clients, and billing multiple health plans.
Documentation guidelines to ensure accurate reporting and avoid legal risks.
How to set and report fees to handle copays, waivers, and superbills without risking compliance issues.
