2 Disclaimer However this presentation is based on my thoughts, experiences and opinions and does not reflect those of the NATA, NATA BOD or anyone else of importance. Journey to the Future It s 2014, CMS has recognized ATs and we can now bill for services rendered to clients of Medicare Age. Other third parties are compelled to reimburse for AT services as well, due to the fact that CMS now recognizes AT services and public demands Legal and Ethical Responsibilities of Billing Medicare (CMS) Third Parties (BCBS, United, Tufts) Patients Discounts (No you CAN NOT provide them) 2
3 Carriers Legal and ethical obligation to bill Correct diagnostic codes Appropriate CPT codes and units Discharge when skilled services no longer necessary Must honor deductibles and copays Obtain and comply with authorizations Authorizations Most carriers: Require prescriptions Require prior authorization Limit visits Per week Per year Life time Patients Bound by contract with carrier to bill patients Discounts are a violation of the contract CMS can and will prosecute Must accept rate set by carrier CAN NOT balance bill patient 3
4 Contracting with third party carriers how and why IN Network VS. OUT of Network Benefits Patients Providers Understanding Limits Maximum billable amounts Copays & deductibles What form do I bill on and how will it effect me? HCFA 1500 UB42 (no not the music group) Using EBM to justify your treatment program Contracting with carriers Often require you to be Credentialed by CMS In Network Saves patients money Expedites provider carrier relationship Authorizations Payment Out of Network Coverage limited or nonexistent Patient Benefits Patients contract with carriers to pay for medically necessary rehabilitative services. This may include Preoperative care Functional (ADL level) care Restorative care Preventative services 4
5 Provider Benefits Providers contract with carriers to gain access to their clients in order to provide services for their clients. This contract stipulates reimbursement levels for the provider as well as establishes rules and regulations that the provider and patient must abide. Scope and breath of services are based upon CMS guidelines Carrier policies / prerogatives Research (EBM) Accepting Assignment CMS 1500 form allows provider to accept or not accept assignment. Accepting assignment Contracted providers - Accept rates and payments from carrier and patient as stipulated in the patient s health plan Not Accepting assignment Billing patient directly at time of treatment Carrier may ore may not reimburse patient based upon the patient s health plan Maximums Daily maximums: max provider can be reimbursed in a single day Annual Maximum benefit: max carrier will pay out in a single 12 mo. period for services rendered Out of pocket maximum: max patient can be responsible for in a single 12 mo. period. Life time benefit: max carrier will pay over the lifetime of the patient, often related to specific diagnosis Visits: number of visits, regardless of costs, a patient can have in a given period. 5
6 Special populations Workers Compensation Motor vehicle Accidents (MVA) Attorney Cases Liability Slip and fall, MVA, etc Malpractice Workers compensation Injured workers typically can be treated by any appropriate and recognized medical professional regardless of network status Require physician referral Medical Necessity Preferred Require authorization(s) Prior to evaluation Treatment Stringent documentation requirements Work Comp Cont Contracting with insurers Expedite authorization and payment process May reduce reimbursement! States may dictate timeframe for payment Report data as regulated by state regulations Extra income. 6
7 Motor Vehicle Accidents Patients who were injured in a MVA have multiple payment/coverage options The defendants car Insurance Their car Insurance Their health Insurance Their attorney Combination of the above MVA Imperatives Physician letter of Medical Necessity Signed Lean (Secured!!) Excellent documentation Updated script from MD every 30 days Visits Cancellations No Shows Payments (EOBs) MVA Issues Payment may take YEARS Health insurance can audit the claim years later and take back money Require you to reimburse them Withhold payments on other clean claims See liability for more dysfunction 7
8 Liability Patients who are using an attorney to represent them in a liability claim (i.e. slip and fall, MVA, malpractice or assault) may request/require you to submit all of their bills to their attorney. You MUST Have a signed lean by the patient Have that signed lean recognized by the attorney Physician letter of medical necessity Patient s health insurance information Explain to the patient that if they loose their case that they are financially responsible for all of their bills Be prepared to accept significant reductions in amount owed to you Lean Legal document which details the specifics about a person s debt to you and that they and all pertinent parties to the matter agree to the fact that the person owes it to you.. Secured Lean : Leans should always be filed with the appropriate state and local agencies, ex secretary of state, State Attorney General, city/town Clerk. Understanding bad debt and collections procedures Bad debt by definition is income which you can not collect. May pay taxes on it Should track It can not be used as a means of discounting services. Collections (best performed by a professional) Have staff make calls to try and avoid this step 8
