2 Auto Deny - Requested Records Not Submitted Medical records were not received in response to an Additional Documentation Request (ADR) in the required time frame Monitor your claim status on Direct Data Entry (DDE). If the claim is in status/location SB6001, the claim has been selected for review and records must be submitted Aim to submit medical records within 30 days of the ADR date The claim will auto deny on day 46 Submit medical records as soon as the ADR is received October Responding by Mail Attach a copy of the ADR request to each individual claim If responding to multiple ADRs, separate each response and attach a copy of the ADR to each individual set of medical records Ensure each set of medical records is bound securely so the submitted documentation is not detached or lost Do not mail packages C.O.D. Return the medical records to the address on the ADR Be sure to include the appropriate mail code October
3 Responding to Request Fax Back of page Margins Clean copy Colored pages CD Each record as an individual image Password October No Plan of Care or Certification The services billed were not covered because the documentation submitted did not include the physician s signed certification or recertification October
4 No Plan of Care or Certification Include plan of care for current episode Verbal orders signed before claim is billed Include initial plan of care for subsequent episodes Send legible copy October Recertification Requirements Must be signed and dated by the physician who reviews the plan of care. Indicate the continuing need for skilled services. Estimate how much longer the skilled services will be required. October
5 Face to Face Encounter Requirements Not Met Include face to face encounter note with each request October Wait a Minute!!!!! I submitted a face to face encounter but my denial said face to face not submitted!!! October
6 What is an Encounter? Based on examples from MLN SE 1405, an encounter includes information such as: Chief complaint History of present illness Physical exam Assessment Plan October Additional Information Information from the HHA can be incorporated into the certifying physician s and/or the acute/post-acute care facility s medical record for the patient Information from the HHA must be corroborated by other medical record entries and align with the time period in which services were rendered The certifying physician must review and sign off on anything incorporated into the patient s medical record that is used to support the certification of patient eligibility October
7 Additional Information This could include, but is not limited to: Comprehensive assessment Inpatient discharge summary Multi-disciplinary clinical notes Must correspond to the dates of service being billed October Documentation Does Not Support Homebound Status The services billed were not covered because the medical records submitted for review did not support homebound status Documentation must indicate and support the beneficiary is unable to leave home A beneficiary is considered to be homebound if there exists a condition due to illness or injury that restricts the ability to leave the place of residence except with the aid of supportive devices such as crutches, canes, wheelchairs, and walkers, the use of special transportation, or the assistance of another person or if leaving home is medically contraindicated October
8 Unable to Determine Medical Necessity of HIPPS Code Billed as Appropriate OASIS Not Submitted The services billed were not covered because the home health agency did not submit the OASIS for the HIPPS code billed on the claim To avoid denials for this reason, the provider should ensure that the OASIS that generated the HIPPS code for the claim is submitted with the medical records in response to an ADR October Partial Denial for Therapy Resulting in Medical Review HIPPS Code Change The services billed were paid at a lower payment level. Based on medical review, the original HIPPS code was changed In order to receive a higher level of payment based on therapy services, there should be an adequate number of payable therapy visits to meet the threshold. This may include one type of therapy or a combination of occupational, speech-language pathology, or physical therapy services Based on the medical records submitted for review, some of the therapy visits were not allowed and reimbursement was adjusted due to a partial denial October
9 Absence of Short and/or Long Term Goals within the Initial (PT/OT/ST as Appropriate) Therapy Evaluation Documentation 1. Who 2. Will do what 3. Under what conditions 4. How well 5. By when October Medical Review HIPPS Code Change/Documentation Contradicts M Item(s) The services billed were paid at a different payment level. Based on medical review, the original HIPPS code was changed. To avoid changes for this reason, the documentation should paint a consistent picture of the patient s condition The medical documentation submitted contradicted your response to one or more of the OASIS items. As a result, reimbursement has been adjusted. October
10 Physician s Plan of Care and/or Certification Present Signed but Not Dated The service(s) billed (was/were) not covered because the physician signed but did not date the plan of care and certification prior to billing Medicare In order to avoid unnecessary denials for this reason, the provider should verify that the physician has dated his/her signature Pay attention to the margins October Info Provided Does Not Support the M/N for This Service Acute vs Chronic Why does the person need service now? Why is the person continuing on service? October
11 How to Stay Informed: Updates from Palmetto GBA Part II Presented by Dan George October Provider Enrollment Revalidation MLN Matters Number: SE1605 Requires all providers/suppliers to resubmit and recertify the accuracy of enrollment information DME suppliers are required to revalidate every 3 years; all other providers/suppliers every 5 years All providers/suppliers must be revalidated under the new enrollment screening criteria October
12 Provider Enrollment Revalidation Due Dates CMS has established dates by which providers/suppliers must revalidate To make it easier, when a provider is asked to revalidate, the due date assigned will always be on the last day of the month specified (e.g. June 30, July 31, August 30) With subsequent revalidation cycles, provider s due dates will generally remain the same October Due Dates (Continued) To assist providers, the CMS developed a Lookup Tool. It will display: all currently enrolled providers/suppliers A due date or an indication of a TBD in the due date field. TBD: To Be Determined (more than 6 months until your due date) Due dates will be posted up to 6 months before revalidation due date and are updated periodically October
