Course: #4417Level: Advanced 1 Hour 1199 Reviews
Recorded WebinarAudio

Authorization denied. Are you tired of having your length of stay or your number of visits dictated by an impersonal algorithm, or an insurance reviewer that does not understand the "case" (person) that you are working with? Do you feel that you have lost control over your professional role and clinical decision-making about prognosis, intensity, and interventions? Are you experiencing burnout because of your battles with peer-to-peer reviews and forms? Finally, do you feel incapable and caught between payers, families, administrations, and policies - leaving you to blame for not advocating effectively enough for the people that you entered your profession to help and defend? Let's talk about how to win these battles, proactively, and restore your agency, trust, and peace.
