The Challenge 

Insurance companies are increasingly limiting network access through closed panels, mergers, and capacity caps. For many providers—especially small and independent practices—these closures can devastate patient access and practice growth. But here’s what most providers don’t realize: a closed panel isn’t always the end of the conversation. 

What You’ll Learn 

This isn’t a theoretical discussion. Olga Khabinskay will walk you through actionable, real-world strategies that have successfully overturned denials—even with major payers. 

You’ll discover: 

  • Why panels really close (hint: it’s not always about saturation) 
  • How to evaluate if a panel is worth fighting for based on fee schedules and patient demand 
  • Who to contact within payer organizations and how to find them 
  • What makes an appeal letter actually work using clinical data and community impact 
  • When to escalate to state Departments of Insurance 
  • Alternative pathways when traditional credentialing hits a wall 
  • How to stay persistent without burning bridges 

Real Solutions, Not Theory 

This webinar features case studies and actual appeal letters that opened doors providers thought were permanently closed. You’ll see the exact language, data points, and escalation strategies that work in 2025’s challenging credentialing environment. 

Whether you’re a physical therapy practice, diagnostic center, adult day care facility, or specialty clinic facing panel denials, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for your next steps. 

Who Should Attend 

  • Practice owners navigating network denials 
  • Credentialing specialists hitting closed panel walls 
  • Billing managers watching revenue opportunities disappear 
  • Practice administrators seeking growth strategies 
  • Anyone tired of accepting “no” without a fight 

Closed panels are limiting practice growth across healthcare. But with the right approach—combining data, local advocacy, and strategic communication—providers can influence network decisions and secure contracts that seemed impossible. 

Don’t let generic denials define your practice’s future. Learn the strategies that actually work.
