In 2019, thirty percent of the money spent on healthcare in the U.S. was wasted through inappropriate care levels, unnecessary procedures, abuse, fraud, and other deviations from established standards of care. Mary Ann Seibold, who worked four years reviewing care given to Medicare Advantage patients explains how she went from Medicare watchdog to LNC and also the vital watchdog nature that utilization management plays in attempting to keep down the cost of wasteful medical activity.

As a nurse, she served on the front line of this reviewing process, and she asserts that nurses’ healthcare knowledge, familiarity with accepted standards of care, and evidence-based criteria processes are crucial in evaluating healthcare practices and procedures.

The specific standards within the insurance companies are stringent and specific. The several regulatory agencies involved in this process may have different standards, which usually means that the evaluating nurse chooses the more stringent of the standards.

Mary Ann explains what happens when a claim is denied. The process is long, time-consuming, and, since time is money, costly. In her professional life, Mary Ann transitioned from her work for Medicare Advantage to opening a practice as a legal nurse consultant. She found that the analytical skills she honed as a case evaluator transferred seamlessly to her work as an LNC. Understanding how the claims and payment process works in terms of insurance companies will broaden your expertise as an LNC. Be sure to listen to or read this podcast.
