3 The Chargemaster Master inventory list of everything that can be reported or performed in the hospital Includes CPT codes Revenue codes Charge descriptions Other services Chargemasters typically updated by: Technical department manager Financial department that handles patients accounts HIM department for surgical and diagnostic coding Sometimes, outside company will come in to perform the comprehensive update 5 The Chargemaster Hospitals may have task force or single individual who is responsible for maintaining accurate data within the CDM Review, at least annually Maintain updates throughout year as new procedures or supplies are incorporated into the hospital s service line Review and maintain payer information and make CDM adjustments based on that information 6 3

4 The Chargemaster Ten steps to a successful chargemaster review: 1. Determine the type of review to be conducted 2. Assemble a cross-functional review team 3. Establish a project leader or liaison 4. Allocate resources to the process 5. Establish communication mechanism for project team 6. Assemble the CDM database for review and revision capture 7. Schedule and prepare for departmental interviews 8. Conduct interviews and review line items per department 9. Research CDM-related issues 10. Finalize changes to the CDM database 7 Outpatient Hospital Departments Typical Outpatient Flow: Patient encounter in an outpatient facility department Clinician documents his/her services rendered during patient encounter as well as all diagnostic information Charges are entered into the computer system by the various departments involved in the patient s care Revenue codes are assigned via charge description master (CDM) that links from the charging system to the revenue center HCPCS codes are assigned either by CDM (usually non-surgical services and supplies) or manually by coding staff (usually for surgeries and other interventional procedures) ICD-9-CM codes are typically assigned by coding staff or outpatient departments Claims are created by compiling the charges, revenue codes, CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes and assigning them appropriately 8 4

5 Types of Outpatient Facilities Hospital Outpatient Surgery Center (Outpatient Facility) Hospital ASCs may be contained within hospital building or independent Independent ASCs Now subject to the Outpatient Prospective Payment System Not owned by a hospital facility, but is a private or corporate entity not affiliated with a hospital 9 Types of Outpatient Facilities Independent ASCs: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services independent ASCs are now incorporated into the OPPS Medicare allows payment to ASCs for any surgical procedure performed in an ASC. Surgical procedures that are determined payable under the independent ASC benefit CMS covers procedures published on a list of ASC approved procedures for the independent ambulatory surgery center(s) Surgical procedures that are considered commonly office based have a payment limit in ASCs Medicare program payment for the independent ASC 80 percent of the total payment amount Beneficiary coinsurance is 20 percent of the total payment amount Screening flexible sigmoidoscopies and screening colonoscopies is 75 percent and the beneficiary coinsurance is 25 percent Surgeries that are typically office based procedures are paid at a lower rate in the independent ASC 10 5

6 Types of Outpatient Facilities Hospital Based ASCs: An ASC may be part of a hospital The building space constituting an ASC must be physically separated from any other health services offered by a hospital Are billed and reimbursed as an outpatient hospital department The same billing and coding information applies to hospital ASCs as other hospital outpatient services 11 Types of Outpatient Facilities Hospital Based ASCs: When billing for hospital outpatient surgeries Facility is charging costs for providing those services to the patients Facility component includes costs incurred for Nursing personnel Room costs (operating, treatment, cast, etc.) Reimbursement is variable, depending on geographical location 12 6

7 Types of Outpatient Facilities Hospital ASC and an Independent ASC: An independent ASC must be financially independent from the hospital for it to be recognized as a separate facility or a freestanding ASC Independent ASC must have a separate tax identification number for claim submission, and be removed from the hospital cost report Physician services are not coded and billed by the facility unless the physician is employed by the ASC 13 Types of Outpatient Facilities Hospital ASC and an Independent ASC Most clinical laboratory and pathology services Reimbursed on a separate fee schedule that lists the services for which Medicare will pay Other ways commercial and managed care payers may reimburse hospitals Standard or reasonable costs Managed care contracted agreements Fee-for-service Predetermined fee-per-visit/procedure 14 7

10 Other Outpatient Departments Admitting Offices: When patient presents to facility, may be registered for the visit by Admitting office, clinics within a facility, Ambulatory Surgery Centers or Hospital ASC that may establish its own admitting area Anytime a patient presents for care the admitting office is notified to obtain Insurance information Demographics Type of services required Insurance card is generally copied for verification purposes 19 Other Outpatient Departments Admitting Offices (continued) Account is established through computerized system Transfers patient information for hospital wide availability during patient care Smaller hospitals will transfer information via patient s medical record Admitting office is also required to obtain consent to treat 20 10

11 Other Outpatient Departments Business Office Generally a separate department from HIM Responsible for: Claim generation Processing of remittance documents Filing incomplete or rejected claim forms Payment posting Appeals Other reimbursement issues 21 Other Outpatient Departments Health Information Management Departments (HIM) Organize and store patients medical information in the medical record May be paper or computerized Used for direct patient care, studies, other purposes HIPAA privacy rule has dual effect on medical records department Rule assures protection of individuals health information Allows the flow of health information needed, to provide and promote high quality health care 22 11
