🔸 Public Health Programs: Non-essential services or federally funded programs could be paused.
🔸 Communication Delays: Response times from government offices may be impacted.

What You Can Do:
✔️ Plan Ahead: Submit claims, credentialing paperwork, or provider updates ASAP.

🌟 New Year, New Deductibles: What Clinicians Need to Know 🌟

As we step into the new year, it’s important to remember that many of your clients’ insurance plans will reset starting January 1st. Here’s what this means for you as a clinician and how to stay proactive:

👉 Deductibles and Out-of-Pocket Costs:
• Clients’ deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums will likely reset, meaning they may face higher out-of-pocket costs at the start of the year.
• Prepare for questions about why their payments or responsibilities may change.

👉 Insurance Plan Changes:
• Some clients may have switched insurance plans during open enrollment, impacting their coverage, benefits, or network eligibility.
• It’s essential to verify insurance details to avoid billing surprises.

Best Practices for a Smooth Transition

💡 Verify Insurance Before Appointments:
• Confirm coverage, deductibles, and benefits for every patient, even if they’ve been coming to your practice for years.

💡 Communicate Early:
• Inform clients of potential changes to their costs and encourage them to bring updated insurance cards to their first appointment of the year.

Starting the year with clear communication and proactive planning can reduce confusion for your clients and streamline operations for your practice. Let’s make 2025 the year of smoother billing and happy clients!

🗓️ Tip: Now is the perfect time to review your credentialing and billing processes to ensure you’re ready for the new year. Need help? Reach out today!
