1 FOR NETWORK PROVIDERS OF KAISER PERMANENTE networknews JUNE 2006 Produced by Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. with the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, P.C. Kenya Neal, Manager, Provider Relations address: Website address: News Flash Self Funding Program Beginning July 1, 2007, Kaiser Permanente will offer its employer groups the self insured option. This product will mirror our commercial HMO product that you are currently contracted with and will follow the same referral and authorization processes that are being used presently. As a valued member of our provider network we want to insure that you are able to participate in all of our products, so you will soon receive an amendment to your contract which will allow you to see our self insured members. In order to comply with regulatory requirements we are requesting that you complete and return the amendment no later than Friday, June 30, If you have any questions, please contact the Provider Relations Department at As always, we value your participation as we partner together to provide the best medical care in the Mid-Atlantic States! The Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, P.C E. Jefferson Street Rockville, MD Presorted Standard US Postage PAID Rockville, MD Permit # 4297
2 Top 5 Reasons To Submit Claims Electonically # 5: Maximize the use of your office computers &/or your office network capabilities Get your money s worth from your office computers and/or your office network by submitting claims electronically. Many practice management systems have an electronic claims component included &/or available at minimal cost. #4: Control paper flow and reduce administrative expenses. Electronic claims submission reduces your office s paperwork burden and frees up your staff s time to concentrate on more important tasks providing outstanding service and care to your patients. # 3: EDI simplifies your billing practices. Electronic claim submission streamlines billing. Claims are sent to the clearinghouse with a press of a button, and the clearinghouse takes care of sorting and sending your claims to the carrier. # 2: Minimizes claim rejections Because the clearinghouse edits claims before routing them to carriers for payment, any claims with missing or invalid information can be returned to you for correction in 1 to 2 business days instead of 1 to 2 weeks with paper claim submissions. And the #1 reason you should submit your claims electronically is... Submitting claims electronically minimizes cash flow disruptions! Electronic claims can be processed faster and more efficiently than paper claims, which can result in an increased turn-around time in your claim processing. Experience the benefits of EDI at your practice! Kaiser Permanente has the ability to receive your claims electronically through the WebMD Clearinghouse. The Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic States payor ID is Call the Provider Relations Department at to get started. Coming Soon! National Provider Identifier The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 require the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans and employers. The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10 digit numeric identifier that will be used to identify healthcare providers. NPIs will be assigned by a Medicare national entity. This identifier is INTELLIGENCE free. It is a randomly selected number not associated with specialty or unique information about the provider. The purpose of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) is to uniquely identify a health care provider in standard transactions, such as health care claims. The compliance date for mandated use of the NPI in standard transactions is May 23, There are two types of NPIs: 1. Type 1 will be assigned to practitioners 2. Type 2 will be assigned to Ancillary, facilities, DME providers, labs and radiology. It is vital that you obtain your NPI by May 23, 2007, so please use one of the following three ways to apply as soon as possible: 1. A web-based application process is available at cms.hhs.gov 2. A paper application may be submitted to an entity that assigns the NPI (the Enumerator). A copy of the application, including the Enumerator s mailing address, is available at cms.hhs.gov. A copy of the paper application may be obtained by calling the Enumerator at (800) or TTY (800) With provider permission, an organization may submit a request for an NPI on behalf of the provider via an electron file. Kaiser Permanente will need time to update the provider systems, so in August 2007 we will begin collecting NPIs from our contracted providers. Watch for more information. You don t have to wait until August though. Beat the rush and send your NPI in early! [2]
3 FOR PRACTITIONERS Prenatal Care Clinical Guideline Revised The prenatal clinical practice guideline, for use with low risk patients and for the identification of high risk patients, was revised in May, What s new?

Diabetes And Pregnancy Care Management Preconception Care A preconception consultation visit is recommended for all women with diabetes who desire or are considering pregnancy. Once a viable pregnancy is confirmed, it is recommended that the clinical RN consult with an Obstetrician or MFM specialist as soon as possible (no later than 2 business days) to determine the patient s plan of care. Screening All prenatal patients (except those already diagnosed with diabetes) will be screened between weeks for gestational diabetes using a 1 hour GCT with 50 gram of oral glucose. The exception will be patients who are considered at high risk for diabetes and require earlier screening near the first prenatal visit. Management Blood glucose monitoring of patients with Gestational & Pre-gestational Diabetes All prenatal patients with diabetes receive a nutrition consult within 5 business days. Initiation of an order for insulin or glyburide Usually a MFM specialist, Obstetrician or Endocrinologist will initiate the order Criteria for starting insulin or glyburide Suggested treatment regimes after failure of diabetic diet This is at the discretion of the physician; however, Kaiser Permanente has a list of principles which may be helpful in making the adjustments.

6 FOR OFFICE MANAGERS Specialty Referral Guidelines The MAPMG/KPMAS Specialty Care Guidelines are regionally developed referral and authorization guidelines used to support primary and specialty care practitioners in the care of patients with selected conditions. These guidelines are produced based on medical evidence available at the time of guideline development. In addition, expert opinion of subject matter experts in the specific field of specialty may be sought in the guideline development process. Development and Implementation of Specialty Referral Guidelines Specialty Referral Guidelines are developed, reviewed, &/or revised by the MAPMG/KPMAS UM Team, under the leadership of the UM Physician Director of Referrals and in collaboration with the MAPMG primary and specialty care service chiefs and other practitioners and specialists. The development of Specialty Referral Guideline is based on information obtained through literature review, information obtained from the Kaiser Permanente Interregional New Technologies Committee (INTC), and/or in consultation with MAPMG primary and specialty care service chiefs and other practitioners and specialists. All specialty referral guidelines are then reviewed and approved by the KPMAS regional committees, and filed with the State of Maryland through the Maryland Insurance Administration. The Role of Utilization Management Provider Service Center The Provider Service Center (PSC) is a 24-hour, 7 day/week telephonic Utilization Management and Referral Management Service Center, designed to assist MAPMG practitioners, community-based practitioners, affiliate providers, KPMAS staff, and vendor staff in coordinating health care services for KPMAS members.
