(Various dates and times.)

• ICD-10
• EHR

Got Scribe?

If not, you might want to consider one (or more).

With documentation becoming more than just a word and EHR becoming a reality, most offices are trying to find ways to work more efficiently.  EHRs just don't seem like awesome replacements for sliced bread, especially if you've been practicing just fine without them for your entire professional career.  However, they are taking over, whether you want them to or not.  One of the best ways to cope with and EHR and its additional documentation and coding, yet still keep your sanity and your patient satisfaction can be for the doctor to continue being a doctor and dealing with patients face-to-face, while someone else scribes (or documents) patient encounters for the doctor – getting down all of the vital patient information, the doctor findings and responses, and any work done, as well as the recommended treatment plan.  

e-Statement Printing Confirmations

If you use our e-Statement service, you will receive a fax confirmation when the statements are printed.  When you sends 2 files (one for each system- especially if you send one from dT and one from eT), and they are printed at the same time, you will only receive a confirmation for the first file processed.

We recommend that you only send one file at a time, wait to receive the fax confirmation from that first file, and then send your next e-Statemtent file. This way you will receive a confirmation for each file.

Genius ICD-10 Seminars- On the Road

Ok, so my hair isn't this short, but we do put this much work into our presentations! :D

We started off last Friday to a packed house of Medical Specialties.  April is already half-full and we are still trying to look and schedule additional seminars as quickly as possible.  So far, here is the current Schedule:

• March 14 was Medical Specialties, in Warren - FULL!
• March 21 is for Podiatrists, in Warren - Still some spaces left.
• March 27 is for Chiropractors, in Warren - FULL!

• April 4 is for everyone, at Soaring Eagle in Mt. Pleasant (We've already exceeded, doubled the size of this one, and exceeded it again) - Super FULL!
• April 16 is for everyone, Troy-  FULL!
• April 23 is for everyone,  Warren - Still have space.
• April 29 is for everyone,  Grand Rapids - Still have space.

We are currently looking at Pensacola, FL in May (still trying to secure a location).
And we are looking for additional areas in Michigan (if you have an awesome suggestion, please feel free to add it in the comments).

For those who aren't in Michigan or Florida, we are also looking at doing some sort of epic online conference for you.... We're still investigating the best way to do this.

As soon as we add more dates and locations, we will definitely post them on the website (under EVENTS), on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Although we do have lots to share, we are looking at what more we can add to help you prepare for ICD-10, HIPAA compliance, and more - I will also let you know if the agenda or guests change as we work towards October and the end of the year.

As always - we are looking forward to visiting with you soon!  :D

Billing Provider Contact Information- In Claims

Change is Inevitable.

Beginning April 15th,2013,  new edits will be going out to BCBSM EDI users:

A3 85 127 F906 BILLING PROVIDER COMMUNICATION NUMBER IS MISSING OR INVALID.
A3 85 127 P940 BILLING PROVIDER COMMUNICATION NUMBER IS MISSING OR INVALID. 
A3 85 127  F907 BILLING PROVIDER COMMUNICATION NUMBER IS MISSING OR INVALID.
A3 85 127  P941 BILLING PROVIDER COMMUNICATION NUMBER IS MISSING OR INVALID.

All of the new edits are triggered by the incorrect reporting of billing provider contact information (phone/fax/e-mail).

Per BCBSM EDI, "Submitters may avoid receiving one or more of the edits by ensuring that they report telephone numbers and fax numbers in the correct format - 10 numeric only, without spaces or special characters."

Per BCBSM EDI, these edits will definitely apply to Medicare Advantage claims.

Why did I put this in here generally - instead of just marking it for Michigan only?  Because this is probably a trend.  You need to read your EDI bulletines regularly to know what changes are being made in your area.  There are always changes.  Also, something like this "contact info" change, is the kind of trend that you will see spreading fast.

So-

1. Check your bulletins (and feel free to send us a note about any changes in your local area- you may be saving fellow offices a lot of grief, and
2. Make sure your provider contact information is correct and accurate.

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.

 

How to Make Sure You Keep More of Your Money

I’ve mentioned in the past that there is a great resource I recommend for current practice knowledge and chat- it is Physician’s Practice, which you can find at www.physicianspractice.com.  It doesn’t cost anything to sign up there, but it is well worth it for the office and coding tips and tricks alone.  I noticed a theme over the last month or so in their Practice Pearls e-mails and pulled a bunch of collected office wisdom for you.  I will post the articles I used at the end so you can go read them in their entirety.  Some come from this year’s MGMA conference in San Antonio, TX where they collected some current thoughts and discussion on meaningful use and best office practices.  This is all new and current stuff.

First off – Verify, Check, double-check, and Confirm.

October First Friday Conference Call

There will NOT be a 10/5/2012 Genius Solutions First Friday of the Month Conference call.  We hope to have one on November 2nd.

Genius Annouces New Partner- Demandforce

Announcing a new partner- Demandforce! And you will be able to preview their product at the MAC spring conference this weekend (booth #33). Get a demo with Demandforce at the conference and get entered to win an iPad!  http://www.geniussolutions.com/emailcamps/AADT_C.html

5010 - You should be doing it now!

Since 3/31/2012 was the last deadline for mandatory 5010 electronic claims, you should be doing 100% 5010 now. Genius believes everything is working well in THOMAS including commercial claims. We have heard of few problems.  The few that are having problems are payors trying to get things set up at their end to handle 5010 claims- including Health Plus (in MI), some DME, and the occasional other insurance company (& you can do an "exception" to 5010 billing for just those insurance companies that are still requiring 4010 only for now).
