Effective documentation is a key component of efficient billing and reimbursement, particularly in the case of transporting dialysis and other repetitive patients. These transports are subjected to additional scrutiny by Medicare contractors, including both prepayment and post-payment reviews. Therefore, the quality of your documentation not only impacts your ability to get paid for these transports, but also the potential liability in the event of an audit.
On Friday, February 26, Ortivus is sponsoring a web-based presentation focused on Medicare guidelines associated with the transport of repetitive patients, including the rules related to the Physician Certification Statement (PCS). The objective of this webinar, presented by Brian Werfel of Werfel & Werfel, is to provide practical suggestions for:
• Improving crew documentation
• Obtaining PCS forms from physicians, and improving the quality of the information listed on these PCS forms
• Ensuring consistency in how bills are submitted to Medicare, and
• Establishing an effective QA Process
