The course that turns certified Cranial Prosthesis Specialists into private insurance billing experts.

You completed your Medical Wig certification.

You've mastered Medicare and Medicaid. But every week, potential clients call asking if you accept Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, or United Healthcare — and every week, you turn them away because private insurance feels like a maze of denials, prior authorization headaches, and payer rules nobody taught you. 

This course gives you the verification scripts, appeal templates, and clean-claim playbook to confidently bill any major private insurer — and recover the revenue most providers leave on the table.

Built for certified Cranial Prosthesis Specialist providers ready to expand beyond Medicare and Medicaid.

Who This Course Is For

This course is built for certified Cranial Prosthesis Specialists who are ready to expand beyond Medicare and Medicaid into the full world of private insurance billing.

✅ This Course Is For You If...

  • You've completed your CPS certification and are billing Medicare or Medicaid, but turning away private insurance clients.
  • You're tired of saying "I only accept Medicare" and watching potential clients walk away.
  • You've tried submitting claims to Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, or United Healthcare, only to get denials you didn't know how to fight.
  • You want to confidently verify benefits, get prior authorizations approved, and submit clean claims to any major payer.
  • You're ready to recover revenue from denied claims through proper appeals.
  • You want to add HSA/FSA, secondary insurance, and out-of-network billing to your revenue streams.

❌ This Course Is NOT For You If...

  • You haven't completed your CPS certification yet (start with the Certification Course first)
  • You haven't taken the Medicare & Medicaid Mastery course (start there to build your billing foundation).
  • You're looking for the basics on fitting a cranial prosthesis.
  • You want a quick-fix tactic instead of mastering the full claims process.
  • You're not willing to learn payer-specific rules, forms, and appeal procedures.
  • You only want to bill cash clients and avoid insurance entirely.

What You'll Learn

Module 1: Private Insurance Foundations

Understand the private insurance landscape and how it differs from Medicare and Medicaid. Learn the major payer categories (PPO, HMO, EPO, POS), how plan types affect coverage, and the language of private insurance contracts. Build the foundation that makes every other module make sense.

Module 2: Benefits Verification That Actually Works

Master the verification process for every major private payer — Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Humana. Learn what to ask, who to ask, what to document, and how to spot coverage gaps before they become denied claims. Includes payer-specific verification scripts.

Module 3: Prior Authorization — Getting to "Approved"

Navigate the prior authorization process for cranial prosthesis claims across private insurers. Learn how to build a complete submission package, write medical necessity language that gets approvals, work with physician offices to gather documentation, and follow up without losing momentum.

Module 4: Clean Claim Submission

Submit claims that get paid the first time. Learn how to use the right billing codes and modifiers for each payer, complete claim forms correctly, attach supporting documentation, and avoid the most common mistakes that trigger automatic denials.

Module 5: Denials, Appeals, and Revenue Recovery

Turn "no" into "yes." Learn the proven appeal framework for overturning denied claims, write payer-specific appeal letters, gather the right supporting evidence, and escalate through multiple levels of appeal. Recover revenue from claims most providers write off.

Module 6: Expanding Your Revenue Streams

Go beyond standard insurance billing. Learn how to bill HSA and FSA accounts, coordinate primary and secondary insurance, handle out-of-network claims, and structure cash-pay options for clients without coverage. Capture every dollar available for every client.

Final Exam

A 25-question comprehensive exam covering all 6 modules. 80% required to pass and earn your Advanced Billing completion credential. Test your mastery of verification, prior authorization, clean claim submission, appeals, and revenue cycle management.

Have Questions? We Have Answers.

Everything you need to know before enrolling.

Do I need to be a Cranial Prosthesis Specialist before taking this course?

Yes. This is an advanced billing course built for certified CPS providers. You'll need to complete the main CPS Certification Course first to understand cranial prosthesis fittings, scope of practice, and the documentation workflow. We also strongly recommend completing the Medicare & Medicaid Mastery course before this one — it builds the billing foundation that this course extends into private insurance.

How long does this course take to complete?

Most students complete the course in 1 to 2 weeks, working through 4 to 6 modules per week. You can move faster if you're already actively billing, or slower if you're applying each module to real claims as you go. You have lifetime access, so there's no deadline — and we recommend returning to specific modules whenever you're working through a tough denial or a new payer.

What templates and tools come with this course?

You'll get 16 downloadable resources, including payer-specific verification scripts (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana), prior authorization submission templates, medical necessity letter samples, claim submission checklists, denial appeal letter templates by denial reason, and a complete revenue cycle tracker. Everything is built to plug directly into your practice.

Will this course work for a solo CPS provider, or only larger practices?

Both. The systems and templates work whether you're a solo provider billing your first private insurance claim or a multi-provider practice handling dozens of claims per month. The fundamentals of verification, prior authorization, clean claim submission, and appeals are the same at any scale — this course just gives you the playbook to do it right from day one.

Is this course included in any of the certification bundles?

This course is sold standalone for $497. If you're considering the CPS Certification Course or one of our bundles, check the main certification page for current bundle options. Bundle structures change occasionally as we add new courses to the catalog.

How is this course delivered?

The course is 100% online and self-paced through our learning platform. You'll get 35 video and text lessons across 6 modules, 16 downloadable resources, 6 module quizzes, and a final exam. You'll need to score 80% or higher on the final to earn your Advanced Billing completion credential. Lifetime access means you can revisit any lesson, template, or quiz whenever payer rules change or you hit a new billing scenario.
