Medicare Compliance & Reimbursement
Utilize Help from MLN Videos to Avoid Denials
The Medicare Learning Network (MLN) aims to assist providers and their staff members with the tools to overcome the complexities of the Medicare system, and the latest variety of offerings from webinars and forums to videos and explanations can help you get a handle on these often-confusing topics.
As most medical practices know, proper documentation is key to collecting the correct payment for the services you render, and the MLN Publications and Multimedia unit provides a series that can help you document appropriately. The CMS Provider Minute videos offer details for avoiding incorrect billing and keeping your claims compliant.
Recent tips include advice on coding and billing CT scans, providing hospital discharge day management services, avoiding duplicate claims, and correctly reporting lumbar spinal infusions. The tip videos typically run just two to three minutes long but provide excellent advice that you can use to stay compliant at your practice.
