Physician documentation is a key component to ensuring the medical necessity of items and services.
Proving that an item or service is medically necessary to Medicare is essential to appropriate reimbursement. It sounds easy in theory, but in practice getting physicians to follow Medicare's medical necessity requirements can be one of the greatest challenges facilities face.
The Medical Necessity Handbook for Physicians is the referring physician's guide to understanding Medicare's medical-necessity requirements and the role they play in making sure your practice or facility receives every dollar it is entitled to for services rendered.
Documentation requirements for tests and services must meet strict standards. This handbook will help you educate physicians on what they need to do to meet those standards and stay in compliance.
Physicians will learn:
- what information they need to provide to ensure that diagnostic tests meet medical-necessity standards
- how to perform medical-necessity checks
- what do to when tests do not meet medical-necessity criteria, and
- how and when to ask a patient to sign an advance beneficiary notice
Denials for services that don't meet medical-necessity standards could cost a facility millions of dollars each year. Don't take chances with either your reimbursement or compliance—educate referring pjysicians on Medicare's medical-necessity requirements.
The Medical Necessity Handbook for Physicians is sold in package of 25.
