McKesson and KEPRO to Share Guidance for Understanding the Two-Midnight Rule and Avoiding Denials at 2016 ACMA National Conference
OREANDA-NEWS. Executives from McKesson Health Solutions and KEPRO will share the podium at the ACMA 2016 National Conference to help providers better understand how to reduce denials, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) final Two-Midnight Rule and the Beneficiary and Family Centered Care audit process. Co-presenting at the conference, being held April 2-6 in Tampa, Fla., will be Tammie Phillips R.N., McKesson’s Vice President, Business Consulting, and Cheryl Cook R.N., KEPRO’s Program Director for CMS Areas 2 and 4.
Their interactive session, “Denials Management, the Two-Midnight Rule, and the QIOs Perspective,” will be held on April 5th at 10:30 a.m. ET. Phillips and Cook will discuss provider trends and challenges around denials management, with particular focus on the impact of the updated rule. They will share insights on the BFCC-QIO audit process and expose common gaps in provider workflows. This is a unique opportunity to hear perspectives directly from one of only two BFCC-QIOs charged by CMS to audit short-stay claims and ask questions.
“Many providers are still confused by the Two-Midnight Rule and how it relates to medical necessity and overall care management program considerations,” Phillips says. “Knowing what to expect requires an understanding of correct documentation of medical necessity, how the QIOs will conduct the audit process and the tools they will use to support their short-stay inpatient reviews. Our session will shed light on these challenges and opportunities, which are crucial advantages for reducing denials.”
The 23rd annual American Case Management Association (ACMA) National Conference will convene over 1,500 case management and transitions of care professionals for ongoing training, education, and networking, to strengthen their skills within the practice setting. A long-time supporter of ACMA, McKesson will be exhibiting and answering attendees’ questions at ACMA booth #312.
