4 National Coverage Determination (NCD) Local Coverage Determination (LCD) The NCD and LCDs are Medicare s primary resource for coverage, limitations, documentation requirements, reporting of services and definitions. Every area/state (jurisdiction) has a LCD that further defines the NCD and may differ from other jurisdictions. This is your local rule book.
5 Par v. Non-Par Participating Provider (PAR) Signed CMS-460 is in place PAR the participant, hereby enters into an agreement with the Medicare program to accept assignment of the Medicare Part B payment for all services for which the participant is eligible to accept assignment under the Medicare law and regulations and which are furnished while this agreement is in effect. Non-Participating Provider (NON-PAR) No CMS-460 in place or has a terminated CMS-460 agreement NON-PAR providers generally do not accept assignment of the Medicare Claims submitted and all payments are processed to the Patient. (Assignment on a case by case basis is allowed with Non-Par) 5
6 Most Medicare Claims From Chiropractors Improper, HHS Says October 25, 2016 HHS = $359 million, or 82%, of the $439 million that Medicare paid to chiropractors in 2013 was medically unnecessary. The OIG has issued seven other studies on chiropractic services since Evidence of widespread improper payments prompted Congress to take corrective action in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). The OIG recommended that CMS determine what is a reasonable number of chiropractic services to actively treat spinal subluxations, and that it tweak its software to detect services beyond that number.

9 How did HHS come to their conclusion: No treatment plan (or vague plans of care), No objective measures, No measurable goals, No documentation of effectiveness The ROM was missing from the exam. No documentation of subluxation or areas treated. The documentation supported maintenance therapy. Hx lacked documentation to support new or active condition. Based on the Hx, difficult to determine where, breaks in Tx. Providers billed a higher level service than number of areas Tx. Failure to provide medical records for the probe review. Think about your records
