Key Points from KG Simple Solutions' Presentation

During the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) Compliance and Ethics Week, KG Simple Solutions delivered a presentation that covered several crucial points related to compliance in the O&P industry. Here are some key takeaways from their presentation that you need to keep in mind:

1. Patient Name and Birth Date Verification

It's essential to double-check that the patient's name on the claim matches the name on their insurance card, and you must verify their birth date against their driver's license. These steps ensure that you bill the correct patient, and it helps prevent denied claims due to incorrect information.

2. Physician Name and PECOS Approval

When billing Medicare, make sure the physician's name matches the information listed with Medicare, and they must be PECOS approved. PECOS approval is essential for compliance purposes and helps ensure proper billing practices.

3. Verification and Authorization

It's crucial to check verification and authorization, including the worker’s comp box on HCFA and the date of injury if applicable. These steps help ensure that you're billing the correct insurer, and it helps prevent denied claims due to missing or incorrect information.

4. Dealing with a 3rd Party

If you're dealing with a 3rd party, you must ensure that the company knows who to bill and if they are billing the IPA or health plan. This helps ensure that the proper parties receive the bills and can help prevent issues with claim payments.

5. LCode Crosswalk Tool

KG Simple Solutions offers subscription access to the LCode Crosswalk tool for O&P companies. This tool helps streamline the billing process, helps prevent denied claims, and assists with compliance-related issues.
