Thanks Janet – I too am working my way through it but haven’t gone live with it yet. I’d love to connect when you get it up and running and I can do the same. It looks really good on paper but I’m not sure how it will end up being in practice.

Lisa – I haven’t called her yet. Honestly, this process of finding business insurance has been quite time consuming and I still haven’t found the right fit.

I went through multiple rounds of contact with CMF and was left not feeling confident that they would be the right fit for me as they rely almost entirely on someone else defining the sco…[Read more]

I’ve been emailing with them and have been unable to get them to pin down exactly what professional services they cover. Apparently, their policies are contingent on whatever state laws, regulating agencies or certifying bodies govern your scope of practice.

Just chiming in with another tip that’s worked for me and that’s verifying that the doctor has received the actual payment from insurance.

That is helpful, thanks Nicole for your feedback!

Thanks Marc! Unfortunately my time is super limited this week but I very much appreciate your offer. Are you taking the test later in March?

Nicole – I really appreciate your words of wisdom. I feel like there is this giant compendium of knowledge and information and I’m still missing pieces… part of that may be just healthcare though!

The extenuating circumstances totally gets me. I absolutely read things into the questions and get them wrong or go against my gut instinct and “th…[Read more]
