Physical Therapist Joins Committee to Advise Medicare Contractor

My local Part B Medicare contractor is asking for help with its provider education strategies and efforts so, on June 10th, 2010 I made the early-morning drive down Interstate 4 to Orlando, Florida to meet about 20 like-minded health care providers for a two-hour question & answer session.

Our mandate is to...

• Reviewing new and existing Medicare education programs
• Recommending changes to these programs
• Alerting FCSO to problems or concerns affecting providers
• Networking with other professionals interested in Medicare
• Disseminating information from the POE-AG to the organizations each member represents.

Our meeting agenda covered these topics:

• Enrollment
• Site surveys, PECOS
• Original signatures vs. electronic signatures
• HIPPA 5010
• ICD-10
• The new FCSO website
• CERT/RAC audits
• Issues with E/M coding

For those providers interested in joining and contributing your expertise please contact FCSO here.
