The session will be presented by Glenn Dobson, Corporate Insurance & Real Estate Management Coordinator and Senior Financial Analyst. Dobson will provide a practical, easy-to-understand overview of how healthcare billing works and what patients can expect after a visit.
“Our goal is to help you understand your bills, your insurance, and your payment options,” said Glenn Dobson, Corporate Insurance & Real Estate Management Coordinator and Senior Financial Analyst, Aspirus Health. “Healthcare billing is a process, not a single bill.
