You want to bill insurance.

Now make sure you understand what you are billing — before the claim ever goes out.

This course teaches acupuncturists the practical foundation of insurance billing, including how insurance plans work, how benefits are verified, how claims are submitted, and how to avoid common mistakes that lead to denials, delays, and patient confusion.

Mori will walk you through the essentials of insurance billing for acupuncture offices, including in-network and out-of-network billing, provider setup, patient responsibility, carrier differences, Medicare-related issues, VA Community Care, CPT coding, ICD-10 diagnosis coding, claim forms, superbills, modifiers, and verification of benefits.

If you have ever looked at an insurance card and wondered what the patient really has, this course will help. If you have ever been confused by ASH, Optum, Medicare Advantage, Blue Cross Blue Shield, third-party administrators, or VA authorizations, this course will help you understand what questions to ask and what details matter.

Insurance billing does not begin when the claim is submitted.

It begins when the patient calls your office.

This course shows you how to verify benefits carefully, understand deductibles, copays, coinsurance, visit limits, and assignment of benefits, choose codes that match the care provided, and communicate financial responsibility clearly before treatment begins.

Good insurance billing is not about guessing what might get paid.

It is about knowing the rules well enough to bill clearly, verify carefully, and support the services you provide.

When you understand the structure behind the claim, you are no longer relying on luck. You are building a cleaner, more consistent billing process that helps reduce preventable denials and confusion.

Know the plan.
Verify the benefits.
Code correctly.
Bill cleanly.
Get paid.

That is the beginning of better insurance billing.
