Our
Company
The
HJ Ross Network was borne out of the need for providers and their
staff to have immediate support for day to day questions and problems.
Howard Ross, the founder, saw it as the next logical step from
his insurance seminars. He first coined it his “Hotline”
where doctors and staff could consult by phone with “ROSS-TRAINED”
insurance specialists. He knew from the multiple inquiries on
a daily basis that a weekend seminar could not address the issues
as up to the minute as a call in service could.
The Network offers a members’ only “call in” line
where expert support is given in CPT, ICD-9, RVS, and HCPCS coding
as well state specific laws and regulations. The Network not only
has expertise in general health insurance but also in workers’
compensation, personal injury, and Medicare. Members have access
to problem insurance correspondence with patients, insurance companies,
and attorneys. Additionally many providers who are looking for
changes to the laws, codes or other trends depend on the Network
to keep them informed and up to date.
With this type of service the Network became “The” source
of information not only to individual providers but also chiropractic
and acupuncture colleges as well as medical, chiropractic, and
acupuncture professional state associations and groups.
Because
of the wide variety of calls and questions the Network personnel
are quickly apprised to trends in billing and reimbursement. In
order to facilitate this knowledge in a timely manner to all its
members the Network added a members’ only newsletter Network
Notes which is a quarterly publication. This newsletter is filled
with information on billing, documentation and collection. It
particularly focuses on new rulings or changes to the procedures,
laws, and rules governing billing and reimbursement.
The Network is not only a place to have your questions answered
but also can be your eyes and ears to the world of health care
reimbursement.
Our
Philosophy
The
Network is committed to its members to be accurate and ethical
in its advice and information. Its’ personnel are trained
and committed to assure members that the information they receive
is will result in the correct and maximum amount of reimbursement
for the services provided. Information is always backed by law
or regulation with appropriate references to ensure accuracy.
We understand how difficult it is with all the constant changes
in insurance. That’s why we dedicate 100% of our time to
keep members up to date. The Network is dedicate to give members
the highest quality experience possible.
Our
Team
Howard Ross is the founder of the HJ Ross Network.
Howard is often introduced as the “insurance expert who doesn’t
need and introduction.” He’s the person who for many
years, has taught health care providers and institutions the “ins
and outs” of insurance, as well as the “whys and hows”
of collecting their money. The Network grew out of a need from
his seminars where providers could have immediate access to have
there specific questions and problems addressed on insurance billing
and collecting.
Howard trains thousands of doctors and staff each year in seminars
across the country and provides them with the knowledge and skills
they can use immediately in their office. An extremely knowledgeable
and entertaining speaker, “Uncle Howie” (as he is known
to the thousands of people who have attended his program) brings
a wealth of information in a humorous and easy-to-understand manner.
