CEUs for Administrators, Nurses, Accountants

Description:

In this session we will learn what CMS assumes is in place when Part B services are delivered. We will discuss the units to minutes conversion table, Additional Documentation Requests (ADR) and where they can be found on the Medicare Online system. We will review the use of the KX (exceeds the therapy cap limit) and 59 (Distinct Procedural Service) Modifiers and the documentation that supports the use. We will discuss the best practices of the therapy grid that is reconciled at the time of billing and how this impacts the reimbursement of services

Objectives

1. To understand the importance of documentation supporting the therapy services.
2. To properly account for all services rendered and the use of modifiers that will allow for prompt payment for the services
3. How to identify partially paid items on the aging report and resubmit with needed information to recover outstanding dollars
