This includes medical necessity, documentation, HIPAA, ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notification) requirements, and OIG (Office of Inspector General) compliance to help your staff remain compliant.

RAC Audit Services

The Coronis Health team uses a multilayered service to identify potential exposure to repayment liabilities under Medicare’s Recovery Audit ContRACtor Program. Our strategy involves:

• Provider coding – Starts with a strong comprehensive field data capture system focused on strict Medicare guidelines.
• Past Claims – Identify potentially vulnerable areas by reviewing past claim submissions as well as reviewing medical necessity compliance during the pre-bill and data input process.
• Coronis supplies continuous on-site Medicare manual, Medical necessity, HIPAA, and advanced beneficiary notification ABN to 9-1-1 field EMT and paramedic staff.

We can conduct a comprehensive Medicare RAC review simulation of ambulance claims and medical records to identify potential issues as identified by the current RAC efforts. During the RAC demonstration period, recoupments fall into the following three main categories:

• 50% of claims are denied due to improper coding
• 33% of claims are denied for failure to meet medical necessity, or because procedures were performed in the wrong setting, lacked administrative criteria, or the hospital failed to provide proper documentation of the medical reasoning
• 10% of denied claims were the result of hospitals not responding within the required 45-day period with the appropriate documentation
