Description

A brief history of milestones that have shaped the current U.S. healthcare systems will be presented for context. Details, opportunities and potential limitations of specific payer systems likely to impact business-of-practice decisions for psychologists in independent practice will be identified. Beyond reimbursement, the underlying and essential influence of values, ethics, and competence will be emphasized. Resources to inform pricing of services, and models to estimate practice income, will be presented that take into account payer systems, services to provide, and desired and planned populations the psychologist seeks to serve.

Session Presenter: Dr. Gordon Herz
Time: 2:00-3:00pm Eastern Time
Price: $0

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify and categorize key payer systems and major milestones in the evolution of the current U.S. healthcare systems.
  2. Apply understanding of payer systems in decision-making relative to specific practice income sources and goals.
  3. Design a sustainable and growing practice reimbursement model infused with values, ethical considerations, competence, and skills.
