Message:

Join us for a webinar this Thursday on workers' compensation eBilling Part 4: Effective eBilling - Understanding the payor perspective

Electronic billing (eBilling) is an effective way to avoid administrative hassles associated with property, casualty and workers’ compensation claims. By switching from a manual claims process to eBilling for these claims, you can decrease administrative costs, receive timely acknowledgement of your claims’ status, reduce the time it takes to submit bills, and get paid faster!

Join us for the conclusion in a series of four live Q&A “Lunch & Learn” webinars this Thursday, June 7 at 12:15 PM P.T. Register to attend the webinar, "California Workers' Comp eBill Part 4: First-time submission." This webinar will help you learn how your practice can minimize payment delays by learning to submit workers’ compensation eBills and attachments correctly the first time. You will also learn common reasons for workers’ compensation eBill rejections and how to avoid them.

See what your peers are saying in the online community!

On Friday, June 8 after the webinar, visit the AMA’s Paperless Practice Group to join the post-webinar discussion about workers’ compensation eBilling, and be the first to access the AMA’s new listing of workers’ compensation eBilling vendors. The Paperless Practice Group is your place to ask questions, and share your practice’s successes and “lessons learned” with your peers. 

These resources are made possible by your AMA/CMA/COA memberships. If you aren’t already a member, please visit www.ama-assn.org/go/membership to join.
