Medicare Part D Patients
- Intake and Reimbursement Challenges
Since the roll out of Medicare's new Prescription Drug program (Part D) home infusion providers have been faced with new challenges in providing home infusion to Medicare beneficiaries. Whether participating in a Part D plan network or providing professional services and supplies to complement another Part D provider, there are many unique challenges presented in handling a Part D referral. This program will present strategies in effective intake, coordination of benefits, communication with patients and referral sources, preparation of claims and billing and collection for a Part D patient.
