CMS Just Dropped a Quarterly Update – Are You Tracking Those Provider Data & CCN Changes? If you're managing claims or handling reimbursements, you know the stakes are high when CMS releases a quarterly update. This time, it’s all about provider data and CCNs (CMS Certification Numbers). Changes like these impact everything from claims processing to provider eligibility checks. Miss a detail? You risk delays in reimbursements or, worse, rejected claims. Here’s what to double-check: ? Provider Identifiers: Ensure your data aligns with the updated CCNs. ? Claims Data: Verify that provider information in your claims reflects the latest standards. ? Reimbursement Calculations: Small updates in CCNs can lead to big adjustments in claims accuracy and processing speed. Staying compliant isn’t optional—it's essential. Does this feel like a lot?

The Prospective Payment System (PPS) can seem like a maze, especially with PDGM’s 30-day care periods. But here’s the gist: Under PDGM (Patient-Driven Groupings Model), Medicare reimburses home health agencies (HHAs) based on a standardized 30-day payment rate. To get that rate, the care provided must meet specific visit thresholds. If not? The rate drops to per-visit payments. How’s the payment adjusted? It’s all about the case mix—tailoring reimbursement to the patient's unique needs and condition. This means accounting for factors like: - Admission Source: Where care starts—Community or Institutional - Timing: Early or late in the certification period - Clinical Grouping: Diagnosis-based, with categories like Musculoskeletal or Neuro Rehab - Comorbidity Adjustment: None, Low, or High based on secondary diagnoses Checking for any red flags? Look at the OASIS assessment data to ensure compliance. This is where those 432 unique case-mix groups come in, helping tailor reimbursement accurately. Outlier payments also help cover costs for high-need cases—no one-size-fits-all here. Does PDGM feel like a puzzle? We're here to help you decode it all. DM us, and let’s make it make sense!

Common Misconceptions About Healthcare Reimbursements Figuring out healthcare reimbursements can feel like walking through a maze. Here are some common myths that might be holding your organization back: ?? "All claims are processed the same way." Different reimbursement models have their quirks. Knowing the specifics can make a big difference. ?? "Once a claim is submitted, I can just sit back." Actually, tracking denials and following up can really help your revenue. Staying on top of things is key. ?? "Manual processes are enough for compliance." Automating can save you time and help reduce errors. It’s not just a nice-to-have; it’s really helpful. ?? "Medicare rules never change." CMS updates their rules regularly. Keeping informed can help you stay compliant and avoid any penalties. ?? "Reimbursement is just about the numbers." Quality data matters. Regular audits can ensure you’re getting paid what you deserve and help prevent costly mistakes. ?? What myths have you come across in your experience with reimbursements?
