Disclaimer. The webinar and website content is intended to be educational and is not considered legal advice on its own. Therefore, you should not make decisions or take any actions or inactions based solely on the webinar or website content.
Scheduling Your Consult. To schedule your 1-hour initial consult, follow the instructions on the webinar content page.
Consultation Disclaimer. The individual consultation that follows the Cash Practice Webinar is intended to assist you in making decisions based on your own practice, including but not limited to whether to enroll with or continue as a Medicare participating or non-participating provider or unenroll, whether you will see Medicare patients who want to pay you privately for their covered or non-covered services, and what other policies you might need to put in place. It is important for you to understand that the information in our webinar is based on our interpretation and analysis of the Medicare statutes, regulations and case law we reviewed. There are unanswered questions in the case law, therefore, our analysis and opinion may change if new information becomes available or new case law is subsequently published. Our intent is to advise you on the potential risks and how to minimize your risks if you decide to accept private payment from a Medicare beneficiary. We do not claim that our advice will eliminate all potential legal and compliance risks, especially if you do not follow our advice or your patients try to submit their own claims to Medicare even though they agreed, of their own free will in writing, that they would not do so. Therefore, you assume all risks, if any, if you choose to accept private payment from Medicare beneficiaries for covered or non-covered services whether you are enrolled as a Medicare provider or not.
Q & A Benefit. Your membership entitles you to free phone and email contact with us any time you have questions. No question is too dumb to ask! We can answer general practice management and federal law questions. If your question requires consultation with an attorney in your state, we will let you know and may be able to refer you to someone. If your question or issue requires research or lengthy consultation and we have to bill you for our time, we will let you know in advance.
