Pre-Conference Sessions | Wednesday, May 13

ICD-10-CM Readiness Training CME credits are awarded for attendance (See below)

PMI’s Pre-Conference includes two full-day concurrent sessions focused exclusively on ICD-10-CM. These sessions are designed for medical offices that are in the beginning stages of ICD-10 implementation. Bring your team and get your questions answered in a smaller group setting. Get on board now to prevent losses from denied claims, payment delays, and time wasted resubmitting claims. Don’t be fooled into thinking your EHR software will get your ICD-10 codes up and running. Crosswalks and GEMS mapping are only part of the puzzle. And what if you don’t have an EHR system in place yet?

It’s not too late to put your ICD-10 conversion plan in motion. Find out what your peers in other offices are doing to prepare for the transition. Our presenters will help you create with a plan of action to take back to the office.

Choose to attend the Coding or Management TrackCoding Track: Survival Skills for Coders and CliniciansLearn the elements needed to extract ICD-10-CM codes including a presentation of chapter-specific guidelines and tips. Examine crosswalks and mapping from “9” to “10” while reviewing expanded codes, what will become of V&E codes, how to handle excludes notes and more. Participants will complete ICD-10 coding exercises and gain hands-on practice through case scenarios for a variety of specialties. Bring an ICD-10-CM coding manual to this session. – Maxine I. Collins

Management Track: Strategies for a Successful TransitionPut together a strategic plan now for managing the transition to ICD-10. Examine all the elements that will be impacted and what stages are appropriate to prepare for the October 1, 2015 deadline. Instructor will relay information on appropriate audits and reviews to make sure your physician documentation is sufficient and compliant. Practices that use superbills or paper-based systems will face additional hurdles. Learn how to budget for the change and confidently communicate with your providers, staff and vendors to ensure compliance. Don’t wait to implement staff training plans and prepare for ICD-10 implementation. – Pam Joslin

General Sessions*Keynote: Is Your Practice a Government Target? With multiple government and private payer audits and recoupments, recovery audits are becoming more of the rule than the exception. This session looks at pre-audit risk assessment vs. post-audit risk mitigation. Presenter is a statistician and risk analyst. He will show participants how to assess compliance risk by comparing procedure code, RVU and modifier use against peer statistics to assess the relative risk of being audited by either CMS or your private payers. Learn about the different types of recovery audits and understand how the CERT study impacts audit risk. Hear how others have reduced risk through case examples. – Frank Cohen

The Future of Medical Practice ComplianceWith the rise of audit scrutiny, compliance know-how has become a most valuable attribute in the medical practice. This session, presented by the developers of PMI’s Certified Medical Compliance Officer program, will examine where the government has focused its enforcement efforts in recent years and provide foresight into the challenges and risks facing healthcare providers in 2015 and beyond. These frontline compliance experts will share real-world examples and provide feedback that is relevant to the daily compliance struggles in your physician office. Be proactive and ensure your practice is not subjected to staggering fines, penalties or criminal liability in the future. – Robert W. Liles & D.K. Everitt

Fraud and Abuse: It’s No Laughing MatterClean, accurate claims are what payers are looking for. But what happens when claims are clean, documentation is in order, but questions regarding Medical Necessity arise? Stepped up regulatory enforcement brings significant scrutiny, which can lead to unfounded accusations of fraud or abuse. Innocent or uninformed mistakes may still lead to guilty until proven otherwise. Understand how Medical Necessity impacts payer determination on claims processing and adjudication. Learn the ins and outs of the regulations and statutes that most dramatically impact your practice and the steps you can take to cover your assets. – Sean Weiss

Faculty Q&A Panel SessionPMI Faculty will gather together on stage during the final session to address audience questions and highlight important information provided during the conference. This panel will tie up any loose ends. Take this opportunity to review critical components and learn how integrate the tools, tips and techniques learned at the conference back to your office. – Rhonda Granja, Maxine I. Collins & Pam Joslin

Coding Track* The Three Languages of DocumentationReview various components of E&M documentation and compare them from the physician view point, the coders view point, and then the auditors view point to show all three differing viewpoints. Learning how others involved in documentation view and address the encounter/documentation will benefit all audience members. Attendees will learn how the pieces of the documentation fit together in order to have a common theme/code. – Shannon DeConda

Clinical Coding Language: A&P, MT, Pathophysiology & PharmacologyThis session will increase participants’ knowledge of the language of medicine. Presenter will break down origins and meanings of commonly used terms. Pharmacology basics will be reviewed for a better understanding of use of drugs. This is not designed to be an in-depth terminology class but it will get participants on the road to a better understanding of some every day terms used for anatomy, medical conditions and drugs. Participants will test clinical language proficiency with in-class activities that will bring coding to life and renew passion for the role each person in the office plays in the medical field. – Maxine I. Collins

Teaching Your Providers ICD-10Coders can only code what is given to them. ICD-10 is a robust system and requires much more clinical detail in the medical record. Physicians, like coders, need training to successfully transition to ICD-10 on October 1, 2015. The time is now to engage your providers in documentation audits/reviews and address any deficiencies in medical record documentation. Seize the opportunity to prepare and ensure the readiness of your providers. Address the obstacles you may have encountered when educating your clinicians. Adopt an actionable plan for communication and teamwork that paves the way for a seamless transition this fall. – Pam Joslin

Advanced Coding PracticumRoll up your sleeves and sharpen pencils for a hands-on coding session. Receive current rules and guidelines for various scenarios and improve knowledge of the relationship between documentation and the codes assigned and the appropriate use of modifiers. Participants will work through advanced coding exercises that will emphasize coding selection based on the highest degree of specificity. Bring current CPT® and ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 coding books to this session. – Maxine I. Collins & Pam Joslin

New Revenue Possibilities with Care Management ServicesCost reductions and improvements in coordination of care have shifted Medicare toward paying for care management services that were previously not reimbursable. This year CMS began paying for transitional care management to physicians managing a patient following a hospital discharge (codes released in 2013). Medicare will also pay for chronic care management and reimburse providers for furnishing non-face-to-face services each month. Intended for use by primary care providers, specialists may also bill for these services. These codes create an opportunity to bring new money into a practice. Presenter will explain the requirements for documentation and billing, and identify whether your providers should be offering chronic care management for eligible beneficiaries. – Rhonda Granja

Proper Use of Modifiers: Madness or Magic?When used correctly, modifiers add accuracy, provide additional detail about the encounter, and ensure proper reimbursement. When misused, they can cause claims to be denied and trigger audits that could potentially lead to refund requests and fines. Identifying and correcting modifier coding errors ensures compliance and affects reimbursement. This session will dispel myths about using modifiers to communicate difficult, increased, separate, reduced, multiple and repeat service. Review the proper use of these commonly misused modifiers. Review case examples on the four newer modifiers, X-EPSU, which are more selective versions of -59. – Rhonda Granja & Pam Joslin

Reimbursement/Compliance Track*From Physician to FelonHave you ever wondered how a criminal healthcare fraud case is discovered, how the government handles the investigation and prepares for trial, and what can happen at trial? Learn what you, as a practice manager or employee, can do to minimize the risks that something similar will occur in your practice. The panelists will present and discuss one or more recent healthcare provider criminal convictions to illustrate government approach in an investigation and to make suggestions about what could or should have been done differently. Panelists may also generally discuss what initiatives the government is pursuing and how to protect their practices. – Heidi Kocher & Sean McKenna

What Your Practice Needs to Know About Exclusion Screening and WhyIn May 2013, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) released guidance regarding how healthcare providers and other entities must handle exclusion screening. This guidance dramatically transformed exclusion screening from a simple, annual check to a thorough monthly screening obligation that includes mandatory checks of all employees, contractors, and vendors. The OIG is on the lookout for violations and in just three months collected more than $3.67 million. Presenter will explain the importance of exclusion screening, how to screen and which exact databases must be screened in accordance with federal and state regulations. – Paul Weidenfeld

The Hunger Games: Quality and Cost – How They Impact Practice ReimbursementThe Quality games are on: PQRS, QRURs, “Pay for Performance – not for Reporting” have become reality for physicians and other qualified healthcare providers. In January, government officials announced a timeline for implementing plans for beginning the move from fee-for-service reimbursement in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to a methodology based on value purchasing of healthcare services in the U.S. Attend this session for important information on the phase-in of new payment methodologies from CMS. Hear about quality-based reimbursement, transparency in healthcare and much more. – Maxine I. Collins

Navigating the Subtleties of Incident-To Billing CriteriaReimbursement rules for all non-physician, mid-level provider services is an area of uncertainty in many offices. This session will explain proper guidelines for incident-to billing mapped to mid-level provider schedules, patient types and workflows. Presenter will explain how mid-levels interact with supervising providers to reinforce clinician understanding of the appropriate utilization of extender resources. – Rhonda Granja

Private Payers: Critical Issues & Current UpdatesDealing with private health insurance carriers continues to become more complex each year. Coders and billers face significant challenges in their quest for securing fair reimbursement for services rendered by physicians and other qualified healthcare providers. This session will cover many important changes in coverage, edits and billing guidelines are issued at a minimum of every quarter. Learn how to play the game with the carriers to improve the billing process. During the Q & A, participants will have the opportunity to interact and share common issues and solutions. This is one of the most important benefits of live sessions. – Maxine I. Collins

Conducting Effective Audits to Master AppealsWhen it comes to coding and billing, minimizing risk should be the number one priority. Ensuring complete and accurate claims are transmitted is the hallmark to an effective compliance program. This session will teach participants how to build an effective auditing and monitoring plan and focus on your practice’s need to ensure success with appeals. Every payer has their own process when it comes to adjudicating claims even when they claim to follow Medicare. Learn how the appeal process really works and the steps to take to ensure success. – Sean Weiss

Management Track*Panel Session: Foster Patient Engagement and Improve RevenueEngaging patients has always been the right thing to do, but striving for their satisfaction has never been more important to practice success than it is today. As healthcare is becoming more customer-focused and reimbursement is increasingly tied to quality assessment of healthcare providers, mastering these concerns is critical. Patient engagement efforts must extend beyond the clinical staff and begin with the initial contact with the front office. Join our panel of industry experts for a lively discussion on patient engagement challenges, the value of improved communication, and new opportunities to create a positive impact on your practice’s finances. – Wanda Batch, Pam Joslin & Audrey C. McLaughlin

Authentic Marketing for Your Medical Practice Marketing your medical practice does not mean buying billboard space and radio spots. Presenter will explain authentic techniques that position the providers as experts and a valuable community resource. Learn to approach marketing as a service to your patients. As session participants learn to map out an approach and intentional planning, the practice’s ideal patient profile can emerge. Map out next year’s marketing calendar. Learn the basics of social media for medical practices. This presentation will provide the tools necessary to start or renew a marketing journey and attract new patients. – Audrey C. McLaughlin

Building a Defensible and Profitable Fee ScheduleThe fee schedule is arguably the medical practice’s most important yet least analyzed financial tool. Learn how to identify over and underpriced services and how to solve low-paying fixed-fee contracts Methodologies will include RBRVS, time, global charge models and benchmarking against national and state charges. Presenter will demonstrate the benchmarks, metrics and resources to analyze and fine-tune your practice’s fee schedule code-by-code. When complete, attendees will have acquired the skill set necessary to immediately begin their own in-depth fee schedule analysis. – Frank Cohen

Does HIPAA Satisfy Meaningful Use Requirements? Problems found in HIPAA audits are similar across healthcare organizations, regardless of size. This session will reveal and dissect the most common security problems, and provide simple solutions. Take a look at the differences between HIPAA and Meaningful Use regulations. Questions will be addressed such as: Does my HIPAA Risk Analysis cover Meaningful Use? If I am HIPAA compliant, does that mean I’m covered for Meaningful Use? After a detailed look into HIPAA and Meaningful Use regulations, this presentation will focus on how to prioritize compliance and security implementation, and start now to be a more secure organization. – Tod Ferran

Management vs. LeadershipToday, the medical practice, like any other business, requires an effective leader to improve the practice and better serve the patients. Management is primarily concerned with systems and tasks. This session will examine the attributes and habits associated with leadership, and open a dialogue with participants about the barriers that practice management professionals face daily in the quest for effective leadership. Join PMI’s CEO in the conversation as he shares his insights from the helm of an organization whose objective it is to exceed your expectations. Participants are sure to leave this session with renewed enthusiasm for reaching beyond the status quo to achieving a higher purpose. – David T. Womack

Accountable Care Organizations – Is Joining One Good for Your Practice?Each type of Accountable Care Organization (ACO) has slightly different requirements and unique advantages and disadvantages, resulting in differing financial risks and benefits. When a medical practice joins an ACO, there are steps the physician and practice can take to minimize the risk and improve the chances of a satisfactory outcome. This session will focus on how to improve the outcomes. Participants will review the requirements for ACOs and understand these varying benefits and disadvantages. – Maxine I. Collins & Heidi Kocher
