Rapidly changing coding guidelines and rules!
Questions with ambiguous answers?
Constant battles with no room for errors?
Amid historic industry growth, new coding guidelines, OASIS -E, RCD, VBP and workforce shortages, many agencies are struggling with accuracy and productivity challenges.
OASIS-E ushers in the biggest changes to the OASIS data set and agencies need to understand the scope and comprehensiveness of these changes. Not only are there many new and retired items, but the entire structure of the OASIS is changing.
No matter how good your coder may be, the unfamiliarity of the ever-changing ICD-10 and OASIS environment will be daunting.
Risk Assessment
- Changes in ICD-10 and OASIS-E are resulting in significant coding errors! Are your coders struggling with understanding and mastering these changes?
- Is the work of your coders audited? By whom? How often?
- Are you able to process OASIS in a timely manner or is it hindered by productivity issues?
- Are you witnessing Non-Affirmations and denials due to incorrect coding or understanding of RCD state requirements?
- Do you conduct a Pre and Post HHRG analysis to evaluate coding accuracy and missed revenues? — Incorporating our Coders’ recommendations will bring in a net revenue gain of $400 to $600 per episode
- With the increasing number of audits, is there an independent third party reviewing your records?
If your coding is done in-house, it is critical that you validate your accuracy. A 10% sample should be reviewed to verify the documentation’s accuracy & compliance. At Acucare, we do that!
