Financial Coordinator Training Path
The Financial Coordinator isn’t just someone that files insurance paperwork. They are in charge of a very important part of your business—income!
An inadequately trained Financial Coordinator will affect the practice in many ways you may not even notice—delays with insurance, outstanding balances, billing errors, failing to maximize insurance coverage, patients being unwilling to go beyond their insurance coverage, and more.
