Toni's Tips
Reminders & Quick Tips
Please do not only rely on the patient’s ID cards to confirm if a practice participates with a payor. We are seeing denied claims that cannot be reconsidered due to eligibility issues.

When in doubt about benefits, reimbursement policies, and other revenue cycle issues please reach out to the payor's provider relation’s customer service line and/or KHF.
