Comments from past participants:

"I recommend this session. It offers a different way than I had previously looked at my denials, such as 0 to15 days vs the 30 days for claim status."

"Very informative and a great way to strengthen management skills. It provided good information that we touch on each day."

"This was a helpful reminder to ensure that our front desk staff are educated on the importance of full and accurate registration for clean claims."
