32 Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) 32
33 CERT Findings Reasons for errors No documentation of use by beneficiary No documentation of clinical management No documentation of mastectomy status Over utilization No documentation to support need to replace Documentation not authenticated 33
34 CERT Overview The CERT Documentation Contractor (CDC) requests documentation from suppliers on randomly selected submitted claims each month. The CERT Review Contractor (CRC) determines whether documentation submitted supports coverage criteria is met. Any claims identified by the CRC as paid in error are adjusted to deny by CGS. Suppliers are notified of overpayments 34
35 CERT The CERT contractor s medical review specialists review each claim and determine the following: Does the item/equipment fit a Medicare benefit category Is the item/equipment statutorily excluded Is the item/equipment medically reasonable and necessary Is the item/equipment coded and billed correctly 35
36 CERT Error Rates What contributes to error rates? Supplier Non-Response Insufficient Documentation Coding Errors Medically Unnecessary Items/Service Written Order Error Other Errors 36
37 CERT: Importance of Responding Suppliers who do not return requested information are considered as non-responders. Non-response is an error and an overpayment will be collected. Failure to respond increases possibility of future expanded audit. CGS actively participates in alerting and assisting suppliers who have received a CERT request. 37
38 CERT Responses There are two ways to respond to a request from the CERT contractor. Fax: This is the preferred method. Mail: CERT Documentation Office Attn: CID # xxxxx 9090 Junction Dr., Suite 9 Annapolis, MD, Extension Requests:
