IRC Office Hours - The Silent Claim Killer

Taxonomy codes and NPIs do more than identify who you are – they define how payers interpret your services, apply contract terms, and ultimately determine how (or if) you get paid. Misaligned or incorrect taxonomy selections can quietly derail claims, trigger incorrect fee schedules, or cause denials that are difficult to trace.

Join IRC leaders Marnie Cabezas and Jillian Helleloid as they break down how taxonomy and NPI configuration directly impacts contracting, reimbursement, and claim outcomes – and how to fix it before it costs you.

AABC membership is required for IRC Office Hours. Registration is free and open to all AABC members.
