Quick question… What’s the hardest part of appointment scheduling? 1️⃣ Knowing which visit type to book 2️⃣ Verifying insurance 3️⃣ Managing provider availability Or is it something else? 👀
The hardest part of appointment Scheduling for me was having to reschedule all patients scheduled for the day, week or two weeks, due to doctor's surgery priority, vacation, sickness, or other occasions, then having to reschedule again for other reasons. But the best part was getting it done.
Quick question… Do you know what your deductible is without looking it up? 👀 No judgment—most people don’t. But understanding this one number can save you a lot of stress (and money). Do you know yours?
Knowing your plan deductible, can help you understand your medical bill. Your deductible is assigned to your plan contract by your insurance company. It is what you have to pay to the provider of service. If your deductible is $250, your insurance pays your bill less that amount, which is your responsibility.
I have done it repeatedly. This past Tuesday I received a message from my son's medical provider stating I owe a certain balance for his deductible. So I asked the manager to send me an itemized bill, and a copy of the insurance Explanation of Benefits (EOB). She forwarded both to me immediately.
