The reimbursement hotline will be staffed by qualified reimbursement specialists who will provide guidance to questions such as:
- How should this procedure be coded?
- How do we preauthorize this procedure with private payers?
- Does Medicare require preauthorization?
- What do we do in the event of claims denial and/or low payment?
- What sort of documentation should be submitted with our claim?
Although RTI representatives will not be able to instruct surgeons on exact coding procedures and reimbursement, they will provide product information in order to assist the hospital or surgeon in coding correctly and obtaining appropriate approvals needed for reimbursement, according to the release.
RTI also engaged RPI to develop a guide for coding procedures and services involving its sports medicine line of implants, which is now available to customers.
Read the RTI release on the sports medicine reimbursement hotline.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
