What To Know About Providing and Billing for Medicare Preventive Services

Preventive services are one of the most important, cost-effective ways healthcare organizations can support Medicare patients. Timely, ongoing preventive services help prevent illness, disease, and other health problems while mitigating existing chronic diseases. Organizations that provide Medicare preventive services are also rewarded with recurring revenue as well as reduced expenses that can make alternative payment models more lucrative.
