Revenue Integrity and Reimbursement Risk: How to Prevent Denials and Drive Compliance
In the second webinar of our compliance and operations series, we turn to one of the most pressing challenges facing behavioral health and human services organizations: maintaining revenue integrity in an increasingly complex reimbursement environment. As providers navigate OMIG oversight, OPWDD expectations, Medicaid billing rules, and evolving payer requirements, even small breakdowns in documentation, coding, or front-end workflows can lead to denials, delayed payments, and compliance exposure.

This session focuses on the highest-impact drivers of reimbursement risk and offers practical, prevention-oriented strategies organizations can implement immediately. We will examine how revenue integrity fits within a broader compliance framework, highlight common patterns identified through audits and operational reviews, and provide a simple blueprint for building or strengthening a defensible revenue integrity program. Designed for compliance leaders, finance teams, billing managers, and operational stakeholders, this session delivers a concise but actionable roadmap to reduce denials, improve billing accuracy, and drive sustainable revenue performance.

Participants will be able to:

Pinpoint the most common drivers of denials and reimbursement risk in behavioral health and Medicaid-funded programs.
Explain how revenue integrity connects to Medicaid compliance requirements, including OMIG program elements and OPWDD expectations.
Apply practical preventive strategies to strengthen documentation, improve encounter accuracy, and reduce denials.
Outline the essential components of a defensible revenue integrity program that supports both compliance and financial stability.

Free Webinar-ADAPT COMMUNITY NETWORK-Supporting Emotional Regulation in Neurodiverse Children: Considerations and Strategies for Setting Children up for Success
2025-11-26 10:00 - 11:30
November 26th 10am-11:30am

Emotional regulation involves the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences in a healthy and appropriate way. Having adequate emotional regulation skills allows children to cope with everyday demands and challenges, navigate social interactions, and maintain mental well-being. For many children emotional regulation skills are acquired and learned in various ways. For children, however, who demonstrate neurodiversity, differential methods may be useful and/or necessary to support the acquisition, demonstration, and generalization of these skills. This webinar will highlight key considerations, and offer specific strategies, to develop emotional regulation skills in neurodiverse children.
