MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Concordia Care, Inc. (Concordia), a specialty risk-transfer company, announces that Dr. William DeGasperis, President of Specialty Services at Concordia, will participate as a subject matter expert at the Insurance Council of New Jersey’s Spring Workshop, Friday, May 4. Dr. DeGasperis joins a panel of experts who will discuss the new electronic medical billing requirements for workers’ compensation and auto claims under the new legislation enacted by the New Jersey State Senate. The legislation impacts both healthcare providers (providers) and insurance carriers (payers), calling for electronic submission of medical bills and payments on standardized electronic forms.
“Within the past year, New Jersey has enacted two laws requiring mandatory electronic billing for all providers and insurance carriers who submit or receive and pay for more than 25 medical bills per month,” says Dr. DeGasperis. “The ICNJ panel will share best practices, explore benefits of electronic billing and offer ways to seamlessly implement electronic billing for greater efficiency and profitability.”
The panel will answer questions and address issues related to penalties for non-compliance, as well as implications for arbitration, exclusions to the electronic billing mandate, opportunities to streamline claims with electronic data interchange, and the benefits for fraud detection and deterrence.
Dr. DeGasperis adds, “In this new regulatory environment, our depth of experience as a technology-enabled company allows us to be of even greater service to providers and payers.”
