    Dorothy,

    We didn’t get paid for the flushing of the port, we did do it every time though. That being said it could have been that particular patient’s plan. I would call the insurance and get benefits for the flush.
    I hope this helps….

    Dorothy are you currently flushing her port with a different medication? Or are you starting new? Who put in the port?

    We are seeing a similar issue in CT. I send records with every BCBS claim and it is still denying for no PA or medical records needed. After calling we are getting paid correctly, however it is taking 30-45 days for the denial and then another 30 days for payment.

    I am glad that they are holding claims and not recouping in a year….

    I have not seen any denials from AARP crossover claims. I would fight it.

    Most of our mandated plans are employer funded Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna. Has anyone seen any others?

  • As a speaker at the first ad hoc meeting of rheumatology practice managers gathered in a single small room at its infancy a decade ago, I’m amazed to see how NORM has blossomed into a high energy organization of depth and professional meetings with parallel break-out symposia between plenary sessions. NORM has truly come of age. This is where the “business” of rheumatology gets learned. The ”guildmanship” for rheumatology practice management is now strong.- Paul H. Caldron, DO, FACP, FACR, MBA, Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates
  • In a time of demanding changes in the management of medical practices in the US, NORM has been a lifesaver to the community of Rheumatology practices.  NORM has allowed our practice to stay ahead of the many demands of CMS and others payors and has ensured that our practice remains cognizant of new issues that arise in HIPPA compliance, human resources and medical billing to name a few. Sending our Practice Manager to NORM's conferences has been cost-effective and beneficial to our practice because she returns to our office with an abundance of information that otherwise would have taken months to compile. Every Rheumatology practice that wishes to stay on top of emerging issues in practice management should consider sending a member of their staff to NORM's conference.- Michael S. Rosen M.D., Chester County Rheumatology PC
  • Thanks to all those wonderful people in the NORM Network who respond to emails, offering their advice, experience, time, and support ... I haven't even been a member a full year yet and I am amazed at the dedication of everyone who responds to helping via emails and the NORM Organization itself! I have barely had a chance to explore the resources and I have yet to really dive into requests for help still I am silently learning so much and do occasionally offer what I can! Thank you all!- Cheryl Piambino, Kenneth E. Bresky, DO
