Using Medicare Accreditation To Make A Difference With Private Pay Insurance: HME-Business

•  California Exemptee Training Certification - for home medical device retailers.  If you are applying for a California Exemptee license, you'll need to include proof of required training in your application. Take this online course to earn a course completion certificate for your license application.

In a nutshell:

Providers need accreditation to bill Medicare, but it's critical in HME businesses' overall market strategy for working with private payers, as well. What do providers need to keep in mind?

According to the article:

• "After years of largely accepting the accreditation requirement, private payers have begun to scrutinize what product categories providers are accredited for when making decisions about valuable contracts.
• As the HME industry weathers the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating compliance and emergency preparedness policies to private payers will become more crucial in standing out in the marketplace.
• Accrediting organizations have created programs specifically targeted at proving expertise in product categories such as oxygen, home infusion, pharmacy and more."

Read the full article:  [DME] Providers feel burned in California: Under a proposal, Medi-Cal reimbursement for an oxygen concentrator would drop to $55.19 - HME News

"California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, may find itself in a bind for HME providers if a drastic reimbursement cut goes through as planned, say industry stakeholders. 

To comply with the 21st Century Cures Act, the Department of Health Care Services has proposed paying 80% of Medicare’s non-rural fee schedule amounts for most DME. For providers in the state, who are currently reimbursed at the 2016 Medicare fee schedule amounts, that’s a cut of up to 60%."

A Scary New Trend: Six-Year Lookback Audits - HME Business

• California Home Medical Device Retail Exemptee Online Training Certification Course - accepted by the California Department of Public Health (Food and Drug Branch)

The full article is a must read:  A SCARY NEW TREND: SIX-YEAR LOOKBACK AUDITS - Understanding another 'new normal' for HMEs from HHS OIG. - HME Business

"The Office of Inspector General (OIG) regularly performs audits and reviews as part of its normal functions. In June 2018, it released a scathing report entitled, “Most Medicare Claims for Replacement Positive Airway Pressure Device Supplies Did Not Comply With Medicare Requirements.”"  ... 

"In layman’s terms, suppliers either have to review every claim they have submitted for PAP supplies for the previous six years, or they must identify the universe of claims by taking a statistically valid random sample and extrapolating the results of the audit once the sample has been reviewed. They are asking suppliers to do something that requires the high-level skills and knowledge of an expert statistician."

Policymakers must fix problems with Medicare’s competitive bidding program for home oxygen therapy | The Hill

• Register now to take this online training course, California HMDR Exemptee training certification course for home medical device retailers (HMDR).

Read the full article:  Policymakers must fix problems with Medicare’s competitive bidding program for home oxygen therapy | The Hill:

"The end result is that patients are finding it more difficult to access the treatments they need.  According to Medicare’s data, the number of oxygen rental patients declined by 33 percent between 2008 and 2014, while the number of COPD diagnoses increased by 59 percent. Because the only treatment for COPD in its later stages is home oxygen therapy, the increase in diagnosis and the decrease in patients using the services suggests that patients aren’t getting access to the care necessary to remain at home."

Additionally, another set of cuts of approximately 18 percent was just applied on July 1."

Contractors warn docs of DME scams | HME News:

"Common scams, according to the letter: unsolicited orders for medical equipment or supplies, often claiming a patient asked the supplier to contact the doctor; advertisements saying Medicare will pay physicians for patient referrals; and pre-completed medical necessity forms with instructions to sign and date.

The medical directors have asked doctors to pay careful attention to orders asking for their signatures. They recommend that doctors be skeptical of unsolicited orders for patients no longer in their practices and document medical justification for any DME item ordered for a patient."

As Home IVs Grow, Medicare Patients Miss Out - WSJ.com

As Home IVs Grow, Medicare Patients Miss Out - WSJ.com:

"Growing numbers of patients needing intravenous medications are getting their treatments at home. But a gap in Medicare coverage is making it harder for older and sicker patients to swap hospital stays for home care.

Hundreds of new intravenous drugs and biologic products have come on the market in recent years to treat maladies such as infections, cancer and chronic diseases. Administering these medications at home generally costs $150 to $200 a day, far below the $1,500-to-$2,500-a-day cost of a typical inpatient hospital stay. Home-infusion therapy also eliminates the risk that patients will be exposed to infections caused by hospital bacteria that can invade through IV lines and catheters."
