Sepsis is the #1 cause of death in U.S. hospitals, and insurance companies #1 payment denial. Why do we let the payers decide if you have a life-threatening infection?
In recognition of Sepsis Awareness Month, PayerWatch and AHDAM join together to present three Sepsis Denial/Appeal workshops. Sepsis is the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals, and the lack of definition/treatment consensus between providers and commercial insurers is infuriating and dangerous.
Join an expert faculty of Physician Leaders from Adventist Health, UNC Hospitals, Sound Physician Advisory, as well as CDI Nurses and Coders, and let’s challenge the #1 Payer Denial plaguing hospitals across the U.S. One complimentary registration will ensure you receive access to all three workshops.
