Course Description
Are you responsible for looking up whether a service is covered in the Medicare program at your facility? Are you confused about where you should be looking to find the information you need to make this determination? If you ever had claims denied due to a local coverage determination (LCD) or a national coverage determination (NCD), you definitely should attend this webinar. You can avoid these costly and sometimes unnecessary claim denials! Expert Lynn M. Anderanin will review the National Government Services Medical Policy Center and the Medicare Coverage Database on the CMS website to assist you with finding the resources you should be familiar with.
The Medicare Carrier system is divided into geographical areas in which different carriers are contracted to adjudicate claims for Medicare Part A and B patients. NCD are National Coverage Determinations that give direction on billing and coding for certain procedures that apply to all providers in any geographical area. There is also a spreadsheet which for each NCD that describes the payable ICD-10-CM codes for the procedures in the policy, if applicable, along with other information needed for correct claims submission. In the absence of a NCD, a Local Coverage Determination, or LCD, may be created by a particular Medicare carrier for Part A or B benefits on a particular or group of procedures and/or services. The NCD would only apply to those states that are listed on the NCD, and cannot be applied claims for other jurisdictions. This can complicate things as one state may cover a service or procedure for a particular reason, but the next state may not. This webinar will show attendees how to locate the appropriate NCD and LCD for their area, and give direction on how to use the information in the policies.
