New Medicare Summer Audits

Per Dr. Ted A. Arkfeld :

"This summer is starting out with aggressive audits on chiropractic services-- specifically 98942 and 98941 manipulation codes by Wisconsin Physician Services, (WPS).  
 
They are skipping the usual request for records, overpayment demand letters and moving straight to placing chiropractic offices into prepayment reviews.  This means a doctor must submit patient’s documentation for each visit to be reviewed by a nurse case manager at WPS.  The nurse case manager then determines if the services should be paid or denied.  If denied you then have the option of undergoing the appeals process.  

Unsuspecting doctors finding themselves in this situation will have an alteration in the revenue cycle with all of their Part B Medicare claims.  This is not the worse case scenario.  These same offices can expect to be placed in a post-payment audit status as well."

Dr. Arkfeld is the only chiropractic compliance consultant in the state of Michigan, and he has assisted numerous doctors through the audit process.

If your office receives this type of notification and you need additional help, you can contact Dr. Ted A. Arkfeld at Advanced Compliance Technologies.

Got Compliance? What’s in your Office Manual?

As we are quickly approaching the end of the year and you are considering beginning or updating your office compliance manuals… These are some important items to be aware of, especially if you haven’t heard of them or were unsure what they really were.  These three items desperately need to be included in your office practices, policies, and compliance plan, or they could be devastating to both you and your office:  The Sunshine Act, The Medicare Enrollment Revalidation Initiative, and ACA Overpayments.  Also be advised, as each of the legal pages I read stated: the following are guidelines and best understanding.  For any actual legal advice particular to office and procedures, you should seek final guidance from your own legal guides.

Live WritePad Training With Dr. Arkfeld Review & Added Date: Sept 29

We had a WritePad training with Dr. Ted Arkfeld, DC, MS, CPC. Thursday, Sept 8th.  It went very well with great tips, good comments, and a general sense of "yes, I can do this".  Being the lucky duck who gets to sit in on the classes I also live tweeted throughout the day.  I have collected those tweets for you here.  For some they might be reminders they forgot to note, for others I'm hoping you'll see a couple of things that might help your office or inspire you to learn more.

Here are the notes:

Live from Meaningful Use=Office $timulu$

For the first time I had a live internet connection for the seminar yesterday, so I took the opportunity to "live tweet".  It was a lot of fun.

Normally I take notes and write down things that strike me during the seminars.  Yesterday's tweets were like live note-taking for me.  Please don't mind any spelling or grammar issues, I was in the moment with my 140 character limit.  I'm posting them here as thought provokers for you.  If you couldn't make it, they are things for you to consider and if you were there, they may help you recall things you wanted to consider or do.

I've also posted a .pdf file of the hand out we gave out yesterday.  If you move your mouse over any of the links, you should notice that they are "hot" (meaning that you can click on them and they will link to the page).  I found at least one where the link gets you to the site, but cuts of short of the exact page.  Hopefully you will find it helpful.
