Sure-fire strategies to prevent denials from F2F probe

Get expert tips to prevent another round of denials from F2F probe!

CMS has recently launched a “Probe and Educate Review” for home health, where every agency nationwide will receive five ADRs and auditors will scrutinize agencies’ documentation. The early results of the probe are extremely troubling for home health agencies — with some MACs announcing denials rates of nearly 90% - with one MAC’s denial rate as high as 97%. This probe is the first true test as to how well agencies are complying with the recent regulatory changes involving face-to-face (F2F) documentation.

Denials, which could cost agencies thousands of dollars, come for several reasons, including lack of documentation of clinical findings, homebound status, and the need for skilled services. Unsuccessful agencies during the “Probe and Educate” review will be subject to another round of the probe and even more claims being reviewed. Unfortunately, many agencies don’t know exactly what CMS and the MACs are looking for in documentation. This is why this audio conference is so important!
