As the Medicare population continues to grow and the complexity of the program increases, health centers need to improve their Medicare expertise in order to optimize care for Medicare patients, maximize Medicare payment, and avoid Medicare compliance pitfalls.

- Telehealth and Medicare
Participants can expect to leave the training with a greater understanding of how to structure health center provider enrollment policies, billing and coding practices, fee schedules, and service offerings in order to provide effective care for Medicare patients.
