New F2F-Focused Review Underway, Trade Group Says

Thought you’d seen the last of scrutiny for face-to-face claims, now that the physician narrative is slated for elimination? Think again.

HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor National Government Services appears to be aud-iting home health agencies in New England for F2F compliance, reports the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. 

A Sept. 9 letter to Congressman James Mc-Govern (D-Mass.) from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Taven-ner turned down a request to suspend F2F reviews pending the elimination of the F2F physician narrative requirement, NAHC says.

The NAHC lawsuit contesting F2F continues to proceed, the trade group adds.
