Located at 1640 Lyndon Farm Court in Louisville, the Roundtable will last approximately two hours. The purpose of this meeting is to facilitate dialogue between prac- tices and payer representatives. Payer representatives will also be available immediately following the meeting to talk with attendees individually. In addition to holding regular meetings with payers throughout the year, GLMS continually tracks issues and trends with all payers through the GLMS Insurance Hassle Report Log. On average, hassle reports that are resolved have resulted in a savings of approxi- mately $2,600 for each physician case. To prepare for an effective meeting with the insurance company representatives, we need your help collecting issues and topics for discussion before the meeting. FLEUR-DE-LIS CONNECTION | SEPTEMBER 2017 The 2016 Roundtable was a big success and helped resolve several office payer issues.
