3 Physician World Small groups vs. large groups challenges: Administration and financial HIT infrastructure Ability to respond to health reform Options for the small groups Align/join larger groups Join a health system/ IDN Purchase by a hospital COMPLIANCE 3
4 Group Size Group Size Number of Providers Percent of Total 1 203, % , % , % , % , % , % , % , % , % 9 Total 889,274 Source: Physician Compare database of providers registered with Medicare; includes physicians and physician extenders Leavitt Partners, LLC, Physician Groups in the United States: A Look Forward, February, 2014 Rank 4
5 Integrated Delivery Networks Large Groups: > 25 physicians Affiliation with Integrated Delivery Network 59% Implications for: ACOs Bundled payments Medical homes VBP Demonstrations Small Groups: 25 or < physicians Affiliation with Integrated Delivery Network 23% 5
6 Conceptual View of the Patient-Centered Revenue Cycle Physician or patient identifies need for service; contacts office to schedule m Visit scheduled and preservice processing completed EHR Post service completion of activities required to successfully resolve the financial components for patient and provider Time of service activities- Patient arrival ; $$; Clinical services and documentation; Revenue capture, Coding & Patient discharge 6
7 Pre-Service Revenue Cycle Need for service identified; patient contacts provider to schedule visit Potential compliance issue(s): Visit scheduled Potential compliance issue(s): 7
8 Pre-Service Revenue Cycle Identification of current and prior balances Potential compliance issue(s): Discussion and resolution of financial issue(s) Potential compliance issue(s): 8
9 Pre-Service Revenue Cycle Collection of payment Potential compliance issue(s): Automated reminder call(s) Potential compliance issue(s): 9
10 Time of Service Revenue Cycle Patient arrival, check-in; collection of co-payment or other balance(s) Potential compliance issue(s): Clinical documentation Potential compliance issue(s): 10
11 Coding Time of Service Revenue Cycle Potential compliance issue(s): Charging Potential compliance issue(s): 11
12 Time of Service Revenue Cycle Additional services/testing ordered Potential compliance issue(s): Cash posted and bank deposit sent to bank Potential compliance issue(s): 12
13 Post Service Revenue Cycle Patient balance billed Potential compliance issue(s): Unpaid accounts sent to collection agency for processing Potential compliance issue(s): 13
14 OIG - (OMG) 14
15 The OIG alleged that SRMC submitted claims containing CPT codes 99204, 99205, 99214, and 99215, that it submitted for services provided by the physician that were upcoded and that the physician engaged in a pattern or practice of coding at a higher level that he knew or should have known would result in a greater payment than the code applicable to the services he was actually providing. CHICAGO Mobile Doctors arrested today on federal health care fraud charges warrants to seize up to $2.568 million in alleged fraud proceeds from various bank accounts. The charges allege a scheme of fraudulent upcoding. Physician pays $17, for allegedly violating the Civil Monetary Penalties Law. The OIG alleged improper billing of Medicare for: (1) new patient E&M office visits for pre-existing patients; (2) upcoded E&M office visits; and (3) services provided by nurse practitioners that were billed under physicians provider number when he was not in the office. 15
16 Office of the Inspector General Report Review of Medicare Part B claims for E/M services Found $6.7 billion on improper payments in 2010 Represents 21.4 % of all E/M payments 16
17 Previous Report: 2006: OIG reports 75% of E/M consultations did not meet Medicare coverage requirements leading to $1.1 B in improper Medicare payments
18 Previous report: OIG reports increased billing of higher level E/M codes 18
19 Previous Reports 2012 Survey: 57% of physicians who provide E/M Services used an EHR system 75% use EHR system to document E/M services 88% of Medicare physicians assign codes manually 12% have codes assigned by staff or professional coders 19
20 Current Report: Methodology High Coding Physicians Top 1 % Two highest codes Other Physicians Not high coding Requested medical records from a sample of physicians from each strata. Reviewers determined whether the E/M service documented in the medical record for each sampled claim was correctly coded/sufficiently documented. 20
21 Findings 42 % of claims were incorrectly coded Upcoded Downcoded Other % of claims lacked documentation Insufficient Documenation Undocumented 21
22 High coding physicians more likely to incorrectly code High Coding Physicians Other Physicians
23 Recommendations from Report and CMS response Educate physicians on coding and documentation requirements for E/M services. Continue to encourage contractors to review E/M services billed for by highcoding physicians. Follow up on claims for E/M services that were paid for in error. 23
24 Other Areas of Focus Upcoming Report: Documentation vulnerabilities of E/M services using EHR systems. Outpatient E/M services billed at the new patient rate Place of Service Coding Errors Ophthalmologists and Anesthesiologists Diagnostic Radiology and Electrodiagnostic Testing Schedule II controlled substance prescribing Meaningful Use Audits by CMS 24
25 Strategies for Physician Offices Develop and Implement a Compliance Program Now required under PPACA Include 7 Steps recommended by OIG 25
26 7 Steps to OIG Compliance Plan 1. Conducting internal monitoring and auditing through periodic audits. 2. Implementing compliance and practice standards through the development of written standards and procedures. 3. Designating a Compliance Officer or contact(s) 4. Conducting appropriate training and education on practice standards and procedures. 26
27 7 Steps to OIG Compliance Plan 5. Responding to detected violations through investigations of allegations 6. Developing open lines of communication among staff regarding fraudulent conduct 7. Enforcing disciplinary standards through publicized guidelines 27
28 Strategies for Physician Offices E/M audits should be part of your overall compliance program Consult Evaluation and Management Services Guide Consult OIG and CMS Resources for Physicians 28
29 Metrics Physician Revenue Cycle 29
30 Physician Practice KPIs Common metrics that provide strategic-level month over month data Ability to select and report on a variety of peer comparisons Developed by HFMA and industry experts Monitored and updated to meet emerging needs 30
31 Benefits of Benchmarking Provides performance context Aids discovery of improvement opportunity Helps identify the right performance targets Supports the identification of practices with proven positive outcomes 31
32 Just How Above Good Do You Need to Be? To optimize improvement efforts, you need to first understand what a change in performance will mean Industry accepted You need targets that are: Measurable and quantifiable; timely Defined by true peer groups 32
33 Example: Days in A/R Consider a practice where Days in A/R improved to 38.7, and performance has been sustained most months for the past year: JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEPT OCT Days in A/R 38.7 IMPROVED & SUSTAINED 33
34 Example: Days in A/R Meanwhile, Days in A/R for the organizations peers have dropped even more DAYS IN A/R AMONG PEER GROUPS OF SIMILAR REVENUE, PAYER MIX Peer Case Example Practice 38.7 Peer Peer Source: Analysis of HFMA's MAP App SM, 34
