Question 3

What is the average recoverable revenue for endocrinology practices missing CMS updates?

Accepted Answer

According to CLV Intelligence's revenue model, endocrinology practices operating under Palmetto GBA (Jurisdictions JJ, JM) that do not monitor CMS and MAC policy changes in real time may expose an estimated $19,699 in recoverable annual revenue per provider location.
