How to Mitigate Your ED Reimbursement Risk with These 6 Tips
As health plans and government payors announce more rigorous requirements for Emergency Department (ED) claims, practice executives must be proactive if they expect to be paid properly for services provided.

In 2019, several factors will contribute to ED reimbursement risk:
Payor coverage cutbacks for specific diagnosis, procedures and treatments in the ED
First-billed ED claims become patient responsibility under high deductible plans
Emergency medicine often yields an unspecified, non reimbursable diagnosis
