Episode 345: Medicare Provider Decisions: Enrolling (or Opting Out), Billing, Documentation, Audits & More

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we chat with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani, LCSW about navigating Medicare considerations as a mental health provider.

We discuss fears and misconceptions around being a Medicare provider; upsides to being a Medicare provider; how opting in and out of Medicare works with multiple providers; what the enrollment process entails and where people get tripped up; what documents you need to have ready to enroll; how long the process takes; reimbursement timeframes; auditing and documentation; and our upcoming Q+A session with Gabrielle on this topic.
