This one-day interactive workshop is designed specifically for pharmacy educators and focuses on practical strategies for teaching important topics in medical billing including how pharmacists can provide services and get paid for their work, as well as the basics of contracting and credentialing in outpatient care settings. Participants will gain useful tools to help learners understand the connection between scope of practice, standards and regulations, and payment for services. The workshop will also walk through the credentialing process, exploring its benefits, challenges, and why it is essential for pharmacists to be able to receive payment for their services.
