Training Course Syllabus:
Home Medical Equipment: Living With and Without Medicare - Healthcare
Billing Seminar
Medicare DME: Documentation, Billing and Collections - Healthcare Billing Seminar
MEDICARE HME REIMBURSEMENT
The nation's population is aging dramatically
thanks to the Baby Boomers. Approximately 8,000 to 10,000 Americans turn 65
EVERY DAY and this trend is projected to continue through the next decade. This
should spell nothing but opportunity for HME providers to the tune of 14%
estimated annual growth. There are, however, forces working against today's HME
providers that make it increasingly harder to compete and stay compliant, the
most dramatic being COMPETITIVE BIDDING. This, coupled with waves of CERT, RAC,
ZPIC and DMEMAC audits, PECOS, accreditation, compliance, ICD-10, and increased
cost of goods will force most HME providers to find new and innovative ways to
decrease their dependency on Medicare to shore up their bottom line and remain
profitable.
Today's HME provider faces the challenge of providing low cost, high quality
services while maintaining compliance with all federal, state, local, and
corporate regulations. This course will not only cover the entire reimbursement
process from intake and insurance verification to billing and accounts
receivable management, but will also outline time-proven methods to distance HME
providers from Medicare as well as maximizing revenue with a provider's current
patient base. Participants will also receive in-depth information on the latest
changes affecting the Home Medical Equipment industry and strategies to react to
them while maintaining a viable and profitable HME company.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
• Examine new Medicare regulations and
requirements
• Develop an effective patient intake and insurance verification system
• Review and discuss required Medicare documentation
• Demonstrate effective coding and claim submission strategies to reduce denials
• Implement an effective Accounts Receivable strategy to reduce DSO
• Discover the 9 D's of diversification to offset shrinking Medicare opportunity
and margins
