2 What s New With MedCost? We are celebrating 30 years of being in business. 2
3 A New Web Site and Logo 3
4 Enhanced Information on the Web Site 4
5 MedCost Initiatives What We Are Doing Regarding The Changing Landscape In Healthcare Improving Member and Provider Experience Managing Cost of Total Care Improving the Health of Populations 5
6 MedCost Initiatives What We Are Doing Regarding The Changing Landscape In Healthcare We are serving in a role as a trusted advisor on health care reform legislation and changes. Commitment to exceptional and local customer service. Exploring ways to collaborate with providers to meet their needs as we move from pay for volume (Fee for Service) to pay for value. We are working with our partners to ensure compliance for the October 1, 2014 go live for ICD-10. 6
7 MedCost Initiatives What We Are Doing Regarding The Changing Landscape In Healthcare MedCost is moving to an integrated delivery model and exploring options with providers to accommodate the changing landscape. Since January 1, 2013 we have been piloting a Patient-Centered Medical Home model (PCMH) with another health system in Southeastern NC to help reduce readmits and ER visits. Expected trend is that with healthcare reform employers will be looking at self-funded options. 7
8 MedCost Initiatives What We Are Doing Regarding The Changing Landscape In Healthcare We are working with HealtheReports as a pricing Transparency tool to allow patients to compare pricing, quality of care, and see feedback of other members regarding their experience with providers they are considering. An example is shown below for a common procedure for four providers. 8
9 Top 5 Reasons Claims Are Denied By Payer Incorrect member/group information Use information on ID Card. File group # and alternate member # as shown on ID Card. Claims filed on paper rather than EDI Standard practice to file electronically. Many systems require electronic claims for receipt of payment thereby forcing the translation paper to EDI. To validate the integrity of the data, providers should file to MedCost in a standard EDI format through their clearinghouse or practice manager. Claims filed that require additional information Prompt response from provider is expected when a request for additional information is made. Providers should check EOBs to validate they documented the difference between a denial and a request for information. Claims filed with invalid or incorrect diagnosis code or CPT codes Use the most appropriate dx code and CPT code per detail line. Routine wellness visits present challenges and issues could be minimized if appropriate codes are filed. Many dx codes in the V ranges are designed to be a secondary dx and could result in a denial if billed as the primary dx code. Update of patient information for other coverage. Ensure other COB information is included in the electronic claim filing to MedCost. 9
10 ICD-10 Key Facts & MedCost Readiness The October 1 st ICD-10 implementation will accommodate new procedures and diagnosis unaccounted for in the ICD-9 code set and allow for greater specificity of diagnosis-related groups and preventative services. MedCost is prepared for the transition to ICD-10 and will only accept claims for services rendered on or after the implementation date that are coded using ICD-10 codes. MedCost will not accept ICD-10 before the compliance date. Claims are processed based off of the discharge date. MedCost will follow CMS guidelines regarding any claims with dates of service through 9/30/14 being filed with ICD-9 codes. All ICD-10 codes need to be placed on a separate claim with dates of services 10/1/14 and after. 10
11 ICD-10 Getting Ready for ICD-10: MedCost Resources for Providers MedCost ICD-10 Webinar MedCost offers a pre-recorded ICD-10 Webinar for you to view at your convenience. To access, go to our website at click Providers portal, select Provider Education, and click on ICD-10 CM Webinar. Highlights include: An overview of the major differences between ICD-10 and ICD-9.

Comparison of present and future coding changes specific to the 122,809 new codes. New formatting and fracture coding features, changes specific to body systems and physician documentation, and the deletion of V-codes. 11
