The Department of Veterans Affairs is a partner meant to work hand in hand when Veterans seek care outside the Veteran Administration. However, as commercial insurance carriers moved into the 21 st Century, the VA did not keep up. Now, in 2020, the VA is attempting to catch up 40 years in single leap, which has led to significant changes and struggles. In this session, we’ll talk about the history of the VA, how claims were processed before the MISSION Act, how that law changed the VA and the impact hospitals will face.

CPE Credit: 1

Presented by Linda Corley
Chief Compliance Officer
Xtend Healthcare

Linda Corley, MBA, AAPC CPC, CRCR. serves as Xtend Healthcare’s senior leader in the areas of compliance and reimbursement consulting services. She has more than 25 years’ experience, working directly for or with hospitals in the areas of patient financial services, health information management and accounting.

The Public Health Emergency presented by COVID-19 has created varying patient clinical needs that present different coverage, charge capture, coding and billing requirements. This discussion session will focus on three areas of revised regulations as well as “how-to’s” for ensuring optimum and compliant reimbursement. Join us as we review expanded telecommunication services, CMS waivers for eased or simplified healthcare operations, and Cost-Sharing.

Objectives:

• Identify for COVID-19 what’s expanded for Telehealth services; and what’s the difference when “virtual” or TB services are provided. Ensuring compliant billing.
• Understand major patient service allowances from CMS (Medicare and Medicaid) through published “Waivers,” including brief discussion of verbal orders, medical records and patient consent.
• Ensure appropriate Lab codes and specimen collection codes for COVID-19 tests are being charged and billed.
• Review new service modifiers that are required for payment and compliance.

The impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare industry has been broad and significant. This webinar explores eight potential scenarios and offers recommendations on how providers can respond to the operational and financial challenges caused by this pandemic.

Learn how issues — such as unemployment, emergency department surge, newly uninsured and non-traditional visits, staffing constraints and others — can directly and indirectly impact your bottom line. Strategies will be shared that you can put in place today to help ensure positive clinical and financial outcomes.
