Beginning in January, you will be receiving the Revenue Cycle Daily Advisor instead of Medicare Insider. Featuring the same great content you’ve come to expect, this free daily email newsletter combines your current Medicare regulatory compliance news and analysis with other expert revenue cycle information from HealthLeaders Media and HCPro, covering topics such as Medicare reimbursement rules and regulations, value-based business models, clinical documentation improvement, health information management issues, patient privacy and security, updates to coding and billing rules, utilization review and case management challenges, and hospital and physician practice reimbursement and compliance. Your current subscription to Medicare Insider will automatically be transferred to the Revenue Cycle Daily Advisor in the coming weeks. Please watch for new issues starting in January.
This week’s Medicare updates include finalization of two new payment models, the January 2017 update of the ASC Payment System, an OIG report on vulnerabilities that remain under CMS' 2-Midnight Rule, and more!
By 2018, 50% of Medicare payments will be tied to value-based alternative payment models. The Medicare Episodic Payment Bundle Model substantially changes how a hospital is paid for a number of orthopedic and cardiac DRGs.
The Denials Management Training Handbook provides clear, concise explanations of the complex appeal guidelines for Medicare and other payers. This information is presented in an easy-to-understand handbook for distribution to staff members involved in preventing and handling appeals.
