So, what are some strategies to ensure your success in the ADR/Denials process?
-Use a checklist to ensure all documentation is submitted to support billed services
-Ensure Physician’s Certification/Recertification is completed timely and in its entirety, and is included in documentation submitted for RAC audits
-When coding the MDS, be make sure to look for the two lookback periods to support Active Diagnoses:
-Educate on importance of daily skilled narrative documentation. Daily skilled nurse’s notes indicate skilled intervention which may consist of observing, assessing, educating, training, and managing the overall care of the beneficiary.
-Thorough documentation by the entire Interdisciplinary Team to demonstrate collaborative care to support HIPPS codes billed.
