Even a simple, honest mistake can lead to massive financial penalties, require you to repay reimbursements you’ve previously received, or worse, land you in jail (really). It can happen to just about anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eBilling laws and regulations continue to be more complicated each year. Many states now require you to get out-of-network payment from your health plan and not your patient – or you’ll violate laws if you don’t comply.

There are actual cases where physician practices tried to do everything right and still got into trouble. For example, a California physician got five days in jail and a $562,500 fine, another practice was required to repay $4.3 million after being sued by an insurance carrier for balanced billing, and a pulmonology practice paid $10,000 in fines and had to repay $2.5 million in collected funds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2887\" data-end=\"3085\"\u003eIt’s essential that you have a solid understanding of how to correctly maneuver through the legal pitfalls of billing for your services, or you could end up like the physicians in the cases above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3087\" data-end=\"3169\"\u003eDon’t take a chance, sign up for this must-attend online training session today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GRCWebinar","offers":[{"title":"Live","offer_id":55129322815779,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Recording","offer_id":55129322848547,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Transcript","offer_id":55129322881315,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Live + Transcript","offer_id":55129322914083,"sku":null,"price":359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Recording + Transcript","offer_id":55129322946851,"sku":null,"price":359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Live + Recording + Transcript","offer_id":55129322979619,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/2240\/0035\/files\/speaker_8.png?v=1778318684","url":"https:\/\/grcwebinar.com\/products\/stop-huge-penalties-for-innocent-balanced-billing-law-violations","provider":"GRCWebinar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
