Chapter 2 Billing and Coding for Health Services LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this chapter, you should be able to do the following: · 1. Describe the revenue cycle for healthcare firms. · 2. Understand the role of coding information in healthcare organizations in claim generation. · 3. Define the basic characteristics of charge masters. · 4. Define the two major bill types used in healthcare firms. · 5. Appreciate the role of claims editing in the bill submission process. REAL-WORLD SCENARIO Riley Ilene, the Chief Financial Officer of Campbell Hospital, was concerned by the reduction in revenue during the last 3 months. The revenue reduction was most pronounced in the outpatient arena and represented a 15% reduction from prior-year levels. Loss of this revenue had eroded Campbell’s already thin operating margins, and the hospital was now operating with losses. Riley’s first thought was that volume may be down from prior-year levels. She asked her controller, Michael Dean, to report on comparative volumes for last year and this year. Michael’s report showed that total numbers of outpatient visits were actually above last year. Furthermore, the increases in volumes appeared relatively uniform across all product line groupings. Riley then directed Michael to review “Revenue and Usage” summaries for the current year and last year. A revenue and usage summary would show the quantity of items billed by charge code and payer. The summaries would also break out the volumes by inpatient and outpatient areas. After reviewing these data Michael reported back to Riley with some startling news. Volumes for several procedures in the hospital’s “charge master” were well below prior-year levels. Specifically, the numbers of drug administration codes that are reported when an injectable or infusible drug is administered were well below prior-year levels. This was surprising because the number of injectable and infusible drugs had actually increased. Riley Ilene thought she had discovered the problem and reported back to her CEO, Meredith Lynn. Meredith, however, asked Riley whether this could have caused the revenue reduction. Meredith believed that a heavy percentage of the hospital’s payment was related to either case payment for inpatients or APC (ambulatory patient classification) groups for outpatients. Meredith believed that these bundled payments would not be impacted by a failure to document the drug administration procedures. Riley said that this was a good point and she would do some additional research and report back to Meredith. Riley found that Medicare provides separate payment for the drug administration procedure when performed in outpatient visits. The average loss for the undocumented procedure codes appeared to average about $130 per occurrence. Riley also found that many of their commercial payers paid on a discount from billed charge basis. Failure to report these procedures for these payers would result in lost revenue. The only r ...

Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a privacy breach that occurred in a health care organization. Include the consequences of failure to act and evidence-based recommendations for addressing the breach. Introduction Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct. In summary, health care leaders are responsible to: 1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations. 2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws. 3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations. 4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards). As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them. This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations. Instructions In this assessment, you are assuming the role of an early careerist in risk management and quality improvement at one of Vila Health's community-based hospitals. Vila Health is a medium-sized system of health operating facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin. You are working on a team-based initiative under the supervision of the Vila Health Chief Compliance Officer. Your role is to assist in addressing a specific compliance risk regarding a breach of privacy and a potential HIPAA violation. A Vila Health employee has disclosed—without prior written authorization—a patient's protected personal health information. Here is the information the team has collected about the privacy breach and potential HIPAA violations to date. A Vila Health supervisor instructed an employee to obtain pre-authorization for an upcoming surgical procedure for a patient. The Vila Health employee submitted confidential, protected health care information about the patient to the insurance company. The Member Services Representati.

Current Payor Audits & Defending Them

Chapter Introduction Ditty_about_summer/ Shutterstock.com Learning Objectives The five Learning Objectives below are designed to help improve your understanding. After reading this chapter, you should be able to answer the following questions: 1. What are two different views of the role of business in society? 2. How do duty-based ethical standards differ from outcome-based ethical standards? 3. What is short-term profit maximization, and why does it lead to ethical problems? 4. What are the four steps in the IDDR approach to ethical decision making? 5. What ethical issues might arise in the context of global business transactions? “New occasions teach new duties.” James Russell Lowell 1819–1891 (American editor, poet, and diplomat) One of the most complex issues that businesspersons and corporations face is ethics. Ethics is not as clearly defined as the law, and yet it can substantially impact a firm’s finances and reputation, especially when the firm is involved in a well-publicized scandal. Some scandals arise from conduct that is legal but ethically questionable. At other times, the conduct is both illegal and unethical. Business law and legal environment students must be able to think critically about both legal and ethical issues. As noted in the chapter-opening quotation, “New occasions teach new duties.” Suppose that Finn Clayborn dropped out of Harvard University to start a company in Silicon Valley that developed and sold finger-prick blood-test kits. Clayborn raised millions from investors by claiming that his new technology would revolutionize blood testing by providing a full range of laboratory tests from a few drops of blood. The kits were marketed as a better alternative to traditional, more expensive lab tests ordered by physicians. They were sold at drugstores for a few dollars each and touted as a way for consumers to test their blood type and monitor their cholesterol, iron, and many other conditions. Within six years, Clayborn and his company were making millions. But complaints started rolling in that the test kits didn’t work and the results were not accurate (because more blood was needed). Numerous consumers, drugstores, and government agencies sued the company for fraudulent and misleading marketing practices. Clayborn’s profitable start-up now faces an uncertain future. The goal of business ethics is not to stifle innovation. There is nothing unethical about a company selling an idea or technology that is still being developed. In fact, that’s exactly what many successful start-ups do—take a promising idea and develop it into a reality. But businesspersons also need to consider what will happen if new technologies do not work. Do they go ahead with production and sales? What are the ethical problems with putting a product on the market that does not function as advertised? To be sure, there is not always one clear answer to an ethical question. What is clear is that rushing to production and not thinking through ...

INTRODUCTION This graded project is a research paper that you’ll complete and submit to the school for grading. In your paper, you’ll apply what you learned about HIPAA to an actual situation in which a health care organization violated HIPAA regulations. YOUR ASSIGNMENT Health care organizations must know and follow the regulations that are set forth by HIPAA, or be held accountable for their failure to follow the rules. For this assignment, you’ll need to find three real-life examples of HIPAA violations; that is, violations of HIPAA’s privacy or security laws that occurred in the United States since the passage of the HIPAA law (after 1996). Each violation described should be serious, and one that resulted in a fine or penalty for the individual or company involved. You can find real-life examples of HIPAA violations in news reports, medical journals, professional health care publications, and other similar reliable factual sources. For each example violation, you should provide the following information: n A complete, descriptive summary of the case n Important facts that relate to the case, such as the names of the company or individual involved, the date of the violation, and the city and state where the incident occurred n An explanation of the HIPAA rules that were violated Be sure to answer these questions when writing your summaries: n How did the HIPAA violation occur? n What policies (if any) did the organization have in place to protect against the violation? n What was the penalty for the violation (fine, prison term, termination of employment, etc)? Finally, describe three ways in which the organization could have prevented the violation. Organize your three case examples into a 750-word paper. Research Instructions To write your paper, you may use journal articles, textbook material, case studies, and Web site information. The Web site information must come from reputable and verifiable sources, such as the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the American Medical Association, professional or business organizations, or articles published by major news organizations. To get started on finding a real-life case example that you’re interested in, you can use an Internet search engine such as Google. Try entering keywords such as “HIPAA violation” under the “News” section. Or, go to your local library and perform a search in the medical journals or professional publications they have on file.

Assignment 2: Case of Anna O One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach. Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory. Review the following: The Case of Anna O. One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case. Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes. Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982). Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated. Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following: •Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations. •On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna? •How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history? Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment 2: Audit Planning and Control It is common industry knowledge that an audit plan provides the specific guidelines auditors must follow when conducting an external audit.

Assignment 2: American Constitution Following the Revolutionary War and separation from England, the need for a new government was clear. A group of men, who became known as the “nation’s founders” or Founding Fathers, developed a new government based on principles and beliefs they knew through their experiences, readings, and study. The Founding Fathers had a great deal in common with each other, including property interests, education, and extensive political experience. These common experiences and birthrights created a strong consensus about what should be incorporated into the government that would replace England’s. Troubles developed immediately upon establishment of the United States of America with the 1781 Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Economic difficulties and means of dividing power between leaders and competing interests caused conflict. The conflicts had to be resolved, and some of the Founding Fathers and others, who would come to be known as the Framers went to Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, it became apparent immediately that the Articles could not be revised, and therefore, they were abandoned, and the Framers set about to create a new form of government. Though the effort was eventually successful and resulted in the Constitution, there was a great deal of conflict during its development in the summer of 1787. The form of government established incorporated the ideas of diverse groups, as well as the Framers’ recognition of the need for compromise. Research the history of the American Constitution using the Argosy University online library resources. Respond to one question from each of the question sets A and B. A. Creating the Constitution Consider the three constitutional proposals: the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. If you were a delegate and without the experience of the past 200 years, which constitutional proposal would you have supported? Why? Why do you think the framers were silent on the issue of slavery in the wording of the Constitution? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation? What were the issues in the Constitutional Convention? Who were the Federalists and Anti-Federalists? B. Living with the Constitution What are the formal and informal methods of constitutional change? How do checks and balances work in the lawmaking process today? Which current and important events do you think are examples of the success of checks and balances? Do you think the Constitution is a relevant political document for the twenty-first century? What new amendments might be appropriate today? Write your response to each in 150–200 words. By Saturday, February 4, 2017 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, February 8, 2017 , review and comment on at least three peers’ responses. .

Assignment 2: A Crime in Centervale While patrolling during his shift, a Centervale police officer, Detective Johnson, saw two men standing on a street corner. Johnson observed the two proceed alternately back and forth between the street ahead and the corner, pausing and returning to conference. Detective Johnson found this strange as the Love's Jeweler shop was down the street. The two men repeated this ritual alternately three to four times, which appeared as if they were looking out for someone or were about to steal something. Detective Johnson saw a third man approach and handing something to one of the two men, which he stuffed into his pocket. Detective Johnson approached the three men and identified himself as a policeman. He saw the man that stuffed the item in his pocket place his hand in his pocket again. Detective Johnson kept his eyes on the man and asked their names. Before they could answer, the detective turned the man around, patted down his outside clothing, and felt a hard object. The man objected saying, "Hey man, you can't do that. I have rights. I want my lawyer." Detective Johnson sneered, "Oh! you'll get your lawyer." Upon feeling the object, the officer removed his gun and asked the three to raise their hands and place them on the wall. The officer patted each man down and found a gun in the pocket of one man. He removed the jacket of another man and found a diamond ring in the inside pocket. The third man did not have anything in his pockets. The three were taken to the police station and charged with grand theft and burglary. One of the men was also charged for carrying a concealed weapon. Detective Johnson ran the information concerning the gun and found that it matched the gun related to an aggravated battery and rape case from a year ago. The detective questioned Danny, the man who had the gun. At first, Danny did not want to say anything, but the detective continued questioning him. After three hours, Danny confessed to the aggravated battery and rape case. He denied being involved in the grand theft and burglary. Danny had a first appearance in the court within three days, whereupon he is appointed an attorney but denied bail. Danny does not see his attorney until the next court appearance. The attorney asks what he wants to do and Danny said, "I want to fight it man." The attorney tells Danny, "That's not going to work; the DA is offering you a good deal if you plea." Over the objection of the victim in the court, the DA offers Danny probation if he testifies against the other two in the burglary case. The DA wants the other two to be sentenced to ten years in that case. While shaking his head, Danny pleads guilty above the cries of the victim. The DA asks the judge to hold off on sentencing until after he testifies in the other trial. After Danny testifies against the other two defendants and they are sentenced to ten years, Danny goes back to the court. The judge, not agreeing with the deal, decides to sent.

assignment 1 The idea of living in a country where “all policy shall be based on the weight of evidence” seems unreal for me. However this idea does not seems so crazy for Neil deGrasse Tyson, who believes this idea could work in a country. But could it really work? The ‘Rationalia’ proposal is about that every idea need to be based on something. It means everything has to follow a process which is gathering data, observation, experimenting and having a conclusion. For a policy to get approved it needs to have the weight of evidence to support it, if it does not have it, then it will not get approve. I found it very interesting how white supremacy supported African slavery and how there was an effort to restricted the reproduction of other races. I feel like this would turn into a chaotic country because there are so many things that science cannot explain, scientist have theories only. Like most of the ancient civilization that had big constructions, ex: The Incas in Peru, there is no explanation for how the Machu Picchu ruins were constructed, or like the Pyramids in Egypt. As the scientist keep researching, new theories originate and no conclusion is made. I do not think religion has all the answers also. Why were women not able to touch their husbands or feed their animals while menstruating? Why a women would be considered contaminated or not pure base on something as normal as menstruation. Or the idea of it is okay for men to have multiple wives but it was not okay for women to get married twice? I do believe that there is a God, but the idea of the men been superior in both science and religion makes me feel frustrated as a woman. It would be very difficult for a country to be ruled by science or by God only. I feel that there should always be a balance between science and religion, even though both want to compete with each other and have the ultimate opinion. There are somethings that I disagree with both of them. There is no need to keep fighting against each other, even the pope supported the scientific view of evolution, and as the article “Nonoverlapping Magisteria” by Stephen Jay Gould said “The Catholic Church had never opposed evolution and had no reason to do so”. For some people like me, science and religion go together. assigment 2 In the first reading “Reflections on Rationalia” by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Tyson discusses an idea of developing a virtual world in which all its policies have to be founded based on evidence, meaning that the state would be undergoing constant research, forming a foundation for its government and how its citizens should think. Within the proposal for the new state, Tyson says that a great amount of funding will be given to the continued study of the human sciences, along with extensive training for the young to learn how to obtain, analyze and gather conclusions on data, and citizens would have the freedom to be irrational, simply no policies will be made with.

Assignment 1: Argument Mapping Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you: ( Note: Refer to Demonstration Exercise 3 located at the end of Chapter 1 for criteria 1-3.) 1. Create an argument map based on the influence diagram presented in Case 1.3 and complete all the criteria provided in the exercise, beginning with this claim: “The U.S. should return to the 55- mph speed limit in order to conserve fuel and save lives.” 2. Include in the map as many warrants, backings, objections, and rebuttals as possible. 3. Assume that the original qualifier was certainly; indicate whether the qualifier changes as we move from a simple, static, uncontested argument to a complex, dynamic and contested argument. ( Note: Refer to Demonstration Exercise 3 located at the end of Chapter 8 for criterion 4.) 4. Apply the argument mapping procedures presented in Chapter 8 to analyze the pros and cons (or strengths and weaknesses) of the recommendations that the United States should not intervene in the Balkans. ( Note: Refer to Demonstration Exercise 4 located at the end of Chapter 8 for criteria 5-7.) Demonstration exercise 3 chapter 1 Create an argument map based on the influence diagram presented in Case 1.3. Begin with the following claim: “The United States should return to the 55 mph speed limit in order to conserve fuel and save lives.” Include in your map as many warrants, backings, objections, and rebuttals as you can. Assuming that the original qualifier was certainly, indicate whether the qualifier changes as we move from a simple, static, uncontested argument to a complex, dynamic, and contested argument Influence diagram presented in case 1.3 CASE 1.3 THE INFLUENCE DIAGRAM AND DECISION TREE—STRUCTURING PROBLEMS OF ENERGY POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL SECURIY Along with other policy-analytic methods discussed earlier in this chapter (Figure 1.1), the influence diagram and decision tree are useful tools for structuring policy problems.52 The influence diagram (Figure C1.3) displays the policy, the National Maximum Speed Limit, as a rectangle. A rectangle always refers to a policy choice or decision node, which in this case is the choice between adopting and not adopting the national maximum speed limit of 55 mph. To the right and above the decision node are uncertain events, represented as ovals, which are connected to the decision node with arrows showing how the speed limit affects or is affected by them. The rectangles with shaved corners represent valued policy outcomes or objectives. The objectives are to lower fuel consumption, reduce travel time, reduce injuries, and avert traffic fatalities. To the right of the objectives is another shaved rectangle, which designates the net benefits (benefits less costs) of the four objectives. The surprising result of using the influence diagram for problem structuring is the discovery of causally relevant economic events, such as the recession and unemployment, .

Assignment 1: Unreasonable Searches and Seizures The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution protects citizens' rights to be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion. The text of the amendment reads: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." There are many legal safeguards in place to ensure that police officers interfere with citizens' Fourth Amendment rights under limited circumstances. In Centervale, there have been several citizen complaints about Fourth Amendment violations by the local police department. The Centervale chief of police, Charles Draper, has determined that the behavior of some police officers reveals a lack of consistent understanding of the criminal justice concepts dealing with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and unreasonable seizures. Submission Details: By Monday , post to the Discussion Area your response to the following: Explain what constitutes an unreasonable search or seizure. Use examples to support your response. Explain how the exclusionary rule and fruit of the poisonous tree apply. .
