Release 3087 - Home Care Therapy Alert Reports and Billing Edits
White Oak Systems, released it's 3087 release yesterday. This release corrects White Oaks existing Therapy Eval report and Billing edits to correspond to Clarifications provided by CMS with regard to the 13th and 19th visits and what to do in the event that a 13th or 19th visit re-eval/ reassessment does not occur.
The key to the Therapy Eval Alert report is that it.. scours the system looking for Therapy visits (Scheduling, Comprehensive Assessments, Timesheet and Billing). All the visits are compiled to map out the current status of each patient. Users can use this to determine and predict when the 13th and 19th visit take place and try to avoid errors. As a daily report, providers are given constant real-time feedback as to where they stand at any moment.
In connection with this we have modified our billing edits to insure that if the therapy visits are not identified as being Eval/revaluations that Therapy visits will start to flag and corrective actions can be made. Using the ability to mark visits as "Non-Covered Charges" providers can bill these missed visits and then get back into compliance.
The 3087 release is just another example of the strides White Oak Systems takes to make our customers compliant and prepared to deal with anything that Home Care Providers must face.
