Power Over Uncertainty

Greetings from Louisiana. I am trying to find out why Medicare payments for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (G0277) has been trending skyward the past 3 years. CMS has revised the PE RVU for that service and they have ramped up the supply costs for the oxygen. They had estimated the supply costs at around $11 in 2016 and at $77 in 2019. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

 Hi Everyone!  I am curious if anyone would be willing to share their collection percentage/criteria goals for the ED for point of service collections.  Or, put another way, how do you set goals for POS collections in the ED?  

Thanks

Good morning! 

I'm a project specialist that supports our revenue cycle shares services teams at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, MI. We recently developed a revenue cycle physician advisory council with about 10-12 physicians and revenue cycle team members. We meet about every other month and have mostly brought information to the group (revenue cycle initiatives, upcoming changes, pro coding updates, etc.). We want to get to get to the advisory level and allow the physicians to provide more input into revenue cycle activities. Does anyone have a similar council in their organization? I'm curious on the structure, charter/guidelines and what makes the group successful. Thanks!
