Description: Through this session, we aim to enable OEM physicians to better appreciate the climate of how OEM interfaces with the insurance industry. Furthermore, we look to provide a best-practices toolkit that will enable OEM physicians to have a standardized approach that will allow for optimized streamlining of claims processing.
