The Z Group’s FAST TRACK Program 2020-2021

 

In order to qualify, you MUST have attended the two-day program. No exceptions.

 

·         Course is a combination of weekly group and private sessions

·      THIS PROGRAM GETS YOU STARTED ON THE TRACK TO MEDICAL BILLING with the following procedures: exams, x-rays, appliances (nightguards, TMD, OSA) ONLY

·         YOU MUST MASTER THESE FIRST BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN BEGIN TO BILL THE EXTRACTION OF IMPACTED TEETH, BIOPSIES AND EXCISIONS, IMPLANTS, PERIODONTAL SURGERY, BONE GRAFTS, TISSUE GRAFTS, TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC INJURIES, PROSTHETICS. THAT COURSE IS A SEPARATE FOLLOW UP PROGRAM (FOUR MONTHS) TO THE FAST TRACK

 

 

PART I: Before the FAST TRACK course begins (THIS TAKES ONE MONTH TO SET UP):

·         Credentialing is completed through CAQH with our guidance

·         The Z Group helps you with Change Healthcare (CH) portal set up- you must sign a SEPARATE contract with CH to get this process going

 

PART II: ONCE YOU ARE CORRECTLY CREDENTIALED WITH CAQH AND YOUR PORTAL IS SET UP WITH CHANGE HEALTHCARE (and has been tested), the FAST TRACK course begins:

·         Weekly GROUP sessions (90 mins, Mondays at 2 PM ET) TOTAL: 9 HOURS

•      Group sessions are for coding, clinical documentation preparation coaching, and claim submission training

•      Group sessions are recorded for review/extra support and available throughout the six (6) week program. MISSED SESSIONS WILL REQUIRE YOU TO FIRST CONTACT DR. Z AND CHRISTIE, AND PAY A FEE PER SESSION BEFORE RECEIVING ACCESS TO THE RECORDED SESSIONS, or to re-schedule a private session

•      YOU MUST ATTEND THAT WEEK’S GROUP SESSION BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE THE PRIVATE SESSION WITH EACH CONSULTANT/TRAINER.

 

·         Weekly PRIVATE sessions, following the group session (one- 60 min session and one- 30 min session per week, scheduled with each office in advance) TOTAL: 9 HOURS

•      Private sessions are for credentialing set up for ONE Doctor and assistance with portal set up for ONE tax ID, with no more than TWO Individual NPI numbers

 

·         Unlimited Emails (sent to Christie Fink)

 

PART III: FOUR (4) WEEK BREAK FROM FORMAL SESSIONS, during which you file your own claims for exams and CT scans ONLY.

 

PART IV: SUPPORT CONTINUES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS FOR AN ADDITIONAL FOUR (4) WEEKS of support. Troubleshooting submitted claims, filing claims for appliances and wisdom teeth only.

 

 

THIS NEXT PART IS CRITICAL!

·         SUCCESS is contingent on the OFFICE staying with the program and attending ALL scheduled meetings- group and private sessions.

 

·         SUCCESS is contingent on the TEAM being ready for the calls and focused on the material presented.

 

IMPORTANT: If you miss a week and get off track with the group, then your office will be dropped from your current group and will be scheduled to continue with the next FAST TRACK GROUP. No exceptions. ALL MEMBERS OF EACH FAST TRACK GROUP PROGRESS AT THE SAME RATE AND TOGETHER. You cannot break the momentum of the group.

 

WEEK-BY-WEEK BREAKDOWN (only Group sessions are recorded by The Z Group for future access, if a session is missed). NO recording of private sessions is allowed. If it is suspected or detected, the session will immediately be terminated and further instruction/support will not be provided. There will also be no refund of monies paid for the FAST TRACK Program.

 

IMPORTANT: The week before the sessions begin, Christie will work with you via live webinar to make sure you are correctly set up with join me/live webinar link,  have both Z books, and more, so that you are well prepared when the group and individual sessions begin. Dondra will confirm that you are properly credentialed, and that your portal is ready for filing claims.
