Capitation Payment, Billing/Encounter Submissions

Capitation Payment, Billing/Encounter Submissions

Capitation, Billing & Encounter File Submission, Payment Processing & Finance

This training will be focused on Capitation, Billing & Encounter File Submission, Payment Processing & Finance for the Capitated Preparedness Payment Project (CP3). The attendees will largely be clinics that have volunteered to participate as pilot sites. Based on requests from members we are now opening these June trainings up to the full CPCA membership. If your organization is participating in the pilot but perhaps not your site and you want to learn more about the pilot we encourage you to attend these trainings. If you just want to learn more about how processes and systems would change in an alternative payment model these trainings are for you. We would be thrilled to have you join your colleagues and the CP3 team as we learn from our content expert Curt Degenfelder.

Objectives. Participants will learn how to:
  1. Receive, process and manage capitation payments and cash flow
  2. Reconcile capitation payments with member rosters and eligibility files
  3. Generate, submit and reconcile encounter files
  4. Develop budgets, create forecasting models and track financial performance under capitated arrangements
