ICD-9 – In the Pipeline for 2010
ICD-9 – In the Pipeline for 2010 Audio Conference.
Coding changes for 2010 include a variety of organ systems and types of patients. The major changes include improvements to codes for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other clinical concerns that accompany TBI. For those of us who code cardiology encounters, there will be some changes to ejection fraction coding and acute heart failure classifications. Pediatrics covers a wide range of specialty services, and there are multiple changes to pediatric codes. Obesity in the US is at an all time high, and it is estimated that over 25% of adults in the US if are overweight. Coding for obesity has to be modified to reflect the changes to this health problem.

CERT Audits; what is Medicare looking for?
CERT Audits; what is Medicare looking for? Audio Conference
Comprehensive Error Rate Testing Program also know as the CERT program was developed by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to produce a national Medicare Fee-for-Service error rate that became a requirement with the legislative passing of the Improper Payment Information Act in November of 2002.
The CERT program is measuring the performance of the claims processing contractors and the provider compliance error rate. The provider compliance error rates helps CMS in measuring how well contractors are educating on the correct process of claim submission The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has a goal that all claims are paid correctly the first time. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service has paid 1.1 billion in incorrect processed claims on consultation services alone.
In this audio conference we will take an in depth look at:
- What is Comprehensive Error Rate Testing?
