Healthcare Data: Pitfalls and Peculiarities
August 17, 2006
What You'll Learn
Data is at the heart of all health care financial studies. What questions should we be asking of those who prepare our data or if we are preparing the data ourselves, what common problems exist in claims datasets that make for erroneous conclusions? What new codes are being used this year, or what codes have changed? What is the effect of “code-creep”? This webcast will be a brief overview for actuaries and other healthcare data users who have not handled claims data directly and wish to have a tutorial about the content of claims sets.
