Event Description:

Medicaid appeals aren’t just a billing issue—they’re a critical part of protecting your revenue. Today, many behavioral health organizations are losing time, money, and margin simply because they don’t have a clear, repeatable process for responding to denials or audits.

If your team is writing off claims too quickly, unsure when to appeal, or struggling to navigate payer requirements—you’re not alone.

In this practical, real-world training, attorney Knicole Emanuel, Partner at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, breaks down how behavioral health providers can approach Medicaid appeals with more clarity, confidence, and success. Drawing on her deep experience in healthcare law and compliance, Knicole will walk through what it actually takes to respond effectively—and protect the revenue you’ve already earned.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • When and why to appeal Medicaid decisions—and when not to

  • The most common mistakes providers make in the appeals process

  • How to strengthen your documentation and positioning to improve outcomes

  • What payers are looking for when reviewing appeals

  • How to build a more consistent, defensible approach to appeals within your organization

If you want to reduce write-offs, recover more revenue, and feel more confident navigating Medicaid complexity, don’t miss this free webinar.

The recording will be emailed to all who register—whether or not you can attend live.
