Providing meaningful benefits — Insurance Challenges

If the check’s not in the mail, send one of these AAD letters
A few years ago, we created a tool to help you manage prior authorizations. While it didn’t completely eliminate the frustration of dealing with these administrative hurdles, it took some of the burden off you and your staff. We know that because you’ve used it thousands of times!

Building on that success, this year the Coding and Reimbursement Committee and the Patient Access and Payer Relations Committee worked to develop the Private Payer Resource Center, a new section of AAD.org dedicated to helping you address insurance challenges. It offers a tool to help you quickly generate appeal letters for common dermatology denials, including modifier 25, skin lesions, Mohs, and reduced payment for add-on services. Each custom letter comes complete with language backing up your argument that your claim has been processed inappropriately.

The Private Payer Resource Center also offers a form you can submit describing your issue so the Academy’s advocacy team can seek solutions with payers.
