Out-of-Network Claims Mediation
One of the services you may offer as a life and health agent is assisting your clients with the claims process. They may call you after they receive that rather large emergency room bill and question why one of the doctors they saw was out-of-network when the hospital was in-network. You can offer the typical advice, such as matching up the explanation of benefits with the itemized bill, but did you know that you can suggest mediation for certain out-of-network claims?
\”The Sharon Show\” a HUGE Success

FWAHU also unveiled its new smart phone app, designed by Mama Frog Apps – something that\’s sure to gain attention nationwide. But the highlight of the show was Sharon\’s interview with Misty Baker. After stepping down as TAHU President-Elect a few months ago, Misty finally got to tell her side of the story.
