McKenzie
certified therapists are often recognized for
their excellence in patient care, however,
they communicate their skills to the payer with
a unique language that is often not well understood
in context of making decisions regarding the
payment for these services. Five key areas
this seminar will cover to address this includes:
- Clear
understanding of
the
current
environment
in
which
services
are
being
provided
from
the
provider,
patient
and
regulator
perspectives.
- Strategies
for
documentation
that
reflects
both
the
care
being
provided
and
the
outcomes
being
achieved
in
a
common
language,
understandable
by
the
third-party
payer,
eliminating
the
current
"language
barrier"
that
will
ultimately
result
in
a
higher
incidence
of
a
negative
outcome
when
audits
occur.
- Application
of
correct
coding
concepts
to
ensure
codes
reported
in
the
claims
process
are
adequately
described
and
supported
in
the
relevant
documenation.
- Documentation
justifying
the
medical
necessity
of
therapy,
including
focus
on
measurable
functional
outcomes,
has
become
the
most
critical
area
for
focused
medical
review,
and
should
be
well
understood
by
all
aspects
of
our
profession.
- Successful
planning for the
transition to
an electronic medical
record that provides
for an efficient
method of complying
with coding, documentation,
and regulations,
and assists in
improving quality
of care, reducing
overall healthcare
costs and lowering
the risk of negative
impacts on your
practice.
