In today’s healthcare environment, America’s hospitals are experiencing increases in payer denials as a result of incorrect application of drug HCPCS units and a drug HCPCS modifier (JW/JZ). These denials have increased costs for providers, because the existing staff is either being redirected to spend more time on the issue or additional staff are being hired to resolve the drug charge denials. Healthcare industry professionals need an easy-to-use and cost-effective resource to submit their claims correctly the first time.

World Health Day, which will be officially observed on Monday, April 7, will mark what organizers claim will be a year-long celebration. Here at ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesdays, we will celebrate a bit early, during the next edition of the Talk Ten Tuesdays live Internet broadcast. Headlining the broadcast will be Lorraine Fernandes, immediate past president and communications chair of the International Health Information Management Association. This year’s World Health Day theme focuses on efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and “to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being.” The World Health Organization (WHO) cites published estimates that nearly 300,000 women lose their lives due to pregnancy or childbirth annually. The WHO also states that more than 2 million babies die during their first month of life, and that 2 million more are stillborn.

Time is money. And nowhere is that adage more relevant than in today’s American hospitals. For example, consider the patient who is medically ready for discharge, but still waiting for a skilled nursing facility (SNF) bed to open up. Or the case in which a patient might medically require a cardiac catheterization before being safely cleared to discharge to home, but there’s a delay until the procedure can be performed on Monday. So, when is it okay to delay? Answering that question as well as reporting on the nuances of such delays will be Juliet Ugarte Hopkins, MD, the special guest during the next edition of the long-running and popular Talk Ten Tuesdays broadcast produced by ICD10monitor. Also part of the live broadcast will be these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments: • Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news that is happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the SDoH. • CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson, Director of CDI for the vaunted Brundage Group, will have the latest CDI updates. • The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news. • News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk. • MyTalk: Angela Comfort, veteran healthcare subject-matter expert, will co-host the long-running and popular weekly Internet broadcast.

Discharge orders have evolved. Today, they indicate the end of hospital billing for an encounter. However, when the discharge order is placed on a day other than the day a patient actually leaves the hospital, it can often lead to under-reporting the patient’s length of stay (LOS) and other issues. And when some clinicians are told to place such an order when patients are medically ready to leave – even if there is no safe discharge plan – this forces the team to make the tough decision: to discharge or not to discharge. Thus, potential patient safety issues arise, as Dr. Juliet Ugarte Hopkins will report as the special guest during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays.

When a law enforcement officer comes to your facility, what do you need to know? And what should you do? While until recently, this topic was seldom on the top of lists of healthcare issues, a recent move by the Trump Administration (Executive Order) appears to have revoked a longstanding policy that prevented federal law enforcement agents (U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement) from going to certain areas long considered safe – think hospitals and schools – to conduct enforcement activities. So, what should you do – and what can you do, legally? Register now to attend the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, coming up at 10 a.m. EST on Feb. 4, when healthcare attorney David Glaser will weigh in on the topic as the broadcast’s special guest.

We’re living in a hybrid world. And now the hybrid concept has become part of the coding and clinical documentation integrity (CDI) world. The process of physician querying is already a stressful activity for many CDI and coding professionals. It has recently become even more stressful, because many hospitals are receiving a new type of denial: a hybrid between coding and clinical validation. It arises when a payer denies a diagnosis added by query, because their auditor determined that the query was non-compliant. During the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, senior healthcare consultant Cheryl Ericson will return to the broadcast to help coders and CDI specialists (CDISs) better code and report amid this new added twist of a threat. Also part of the broadcast will be these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments: • Field Report: Substituting for Tiffany Ferguson will be Laurie Johnson, who is expected to report on trauma coding occasioned by Wednesday’s fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. • The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news. • RegWatch: Former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) career professional Stanley Nachimson will report on the latest regulatory news coming out of Washington, D.C. • News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent and regulatory expert, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk. • TalkBack: Erica Remer, MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc., and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) measures and, in some cases, penalizes facilities whose inpatient mortality or readmission (up to 3 per cent of their traditional Medicare revenue) rates for pneumonia, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and other conditions exceed their established benchmarks. Since these measures are based solely on ICD-10-CM/PCS-based administrative data applied to algorithms developed by Yale University, inaccurate documentation and coding can unwittingly misrepresent a facility’s excellent performance resulting in underserved underpayments. During the next live edition of the long-running Internet broadcast, Talk Ten Tuesday, Dr. James S. Kennedy, president of CDIMD in Nashville, Tenn., will present five relatively simple CDI strategies involving the CMS mortality and readmission measures that, if implemented, will more accurately reflect your facility’s excellent performance and lower or eliminate undeserved penalties. Be sure to take notes and invite your colleagues from quality to listen as well.
