Published on Sun Jul 20, 2003
If your utilization data is remarkably different from your peers' numbers, you might as well have a big neon sign flashing "investigate me" over your agency. Check out these visit benchmarks from regional home health intermediary United Government Services for home health claims from October to December 2002 to see if you're out of line. (For tips on what to do if you're off from the norm, see pdf of Eli's HCW, Vol. XII, No. 9, p. 77 and pdf of Eli's HCW, Vol. XII, No. 15, p. 114.) The visit stats include claims for all home health patients during the time period, a UGS official tells Eli.
