Health Security Plan Design Series #3: Walking the Reimbursement Maze (Dec. 11 @ 10AM)
How Do Health Care Professionals Get Paid, and What Problems Do They Face?
We're all familiar with the patient side of paying health care professionals for the services they provide. For most of us in New Mexico, that involves our pocketbooks—and our insurance companies.
But how does this process look from the point of view of our state's health care professionals?
Unfortunately, all too often, they feel like the hapless medical professional in this cartoon, preparing to walk the reimbursement maze.
How health care professionals get paid—and the problems with the current process—is the subject of the third Zoom meeting in our Health Security Plan Design series.
Our panel of health care professionals will describe some of the administrative challenges they face every day. Dealing with this inefficient, administratively complex, and time-consuming reimbursement maze impacts patient care and can lead to frustration and professional burnout.
Identifying the problems with our current system will help us incorporate solutions into the design of the NM Health Security Plan (the subject of a future Zoom meeting!).
When: Saturday, December 11, 10:00–11:45 AM
Where: via Zoom
This meeting is free, but registration is required.
The Legislative Session Is Around the Corner!
The 2022 New Mexico legislative session will be here before we know it, running from January 18 to February 17.
This year, we'll be focusing on getting more funding to continue the Health Security planning and design process. We've been working closely with Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, vice chair of the interim Legislative Health & Human Services Committee, to prepare for the 2022 session.
