How to Protect Orthopedics
1. Whether you are using Dragon, Transcriptionists, highly sophisticated EHR
or still charting on your own, your medical necessity documentation must
be fool-proof.
HOW TO PROTECT
ORTHOPEDICS
IN FRAUD, WASTE &
ABUSE
Since 2018, CMS has had additional focus on orthopedics
surgeons to better align quality measurements and
improvement priorities. This still does not negate the
resources used in detecting FWA for these measures.
With less than 30 days left in this reporting period, now is
the time to validate accuracy. Common documentation and
coding errors have been found in these quality measures:
#459ย Back Pain Post Lumbar Disectomy/Laminotomy,
#460 Back Pain Post Lumbar Fusion and
#470 Change in Functional Status Post Total Knee
Replacement Surgery
Watch Your Bundles
After seeing Coordinated Health's $12.5 million settlement
due to -59 modifier, it is imperative you watch your
surgery bundles. This is a high risk and will cost you
millions if not done properly.
Payers including Medicare has automation to check
inconsistent and improper -59 modifier surgeries. Unless
you too are using complex algorithms for quality
assessment, you are at risk.
Hip and Knee Replacement procedures are still amongst the highest error rate for
reimbursement. If you don't want to do a full audit on all your 2019 surgeries, at least
do a quick sample on these.
Keep Them Out of Your Pockets
Knowing that CMS has and will continue to perform
audits for medical necessity and insufficient
documentation, keep them away from your money!
Take a few moments to have an experienced clinical and business expert review
your documentation, give your guidance on gaps and help you keep what is yours.
Quality Payments Programs
Only relying on your team of coders is not enough anymore,
no matter how experienced they are.
CMS recouped $2.3 BILLION last year in their FWA efforts...
and they aren't stopping.
For 2020 it has already been announced that CMS will be
reviewing accuracy of specific diagnosis codes. This include
medical documentation to support diagnosis given.
Stay Informed. Stay Alert. Stay Connected.
