148: The Concept of Out-Of-Network Benefits for Clinicians and Patients with Rachael Norman

Today’s show highlights a common problem for clinicians, especially those in a private pay practice. How do we get clients’ out-of-network claims paid? Rachael Norman is here from Better; their mission is to help providers not lose patients because of not accepting insurance. Better is an app for filing out-of-network insurance claims.

They are a free resource for clinicians and they help in an ongoing effort to help reduce medical costs to patients. Rachael is sharing practical tips that she’s learned and explaining more about the concept of “out-of-network” benefits. We’re discussing the basics of superbills, wording, and coding, along with common mistakes clinicians make with superbills and the next big changes to come regarding claims and coding. Join us!

Hi. I'm Melvin. I'm a psychologist, girl dad, and online creator living in Philadelphia, PA.

In 2014, I began to think about how to use our therapist skillset in different realms besides clinical work (e.g., podcasting, consulting, online course creation, writing, etc).

This allows us to serve others on larger scales while diversifying our income beyond 1 to 1 work.

I make podcasts and videos about business, tech, productivity, and lessons I'm learning from becoming the CEO of a lean, mean 5 person 100% remote team (we're not really mean..it just rhymed =P).
