Manage episode 361126893 series 2977475
In the latest episode of the Mary Free Bed Advisory Group podcast, Be Advised, we talk with Paula Digby, owner of AQ-IQ consulting. She has years of experience helping providers achieve accurate reimbursement and an effective revenue cycle.
Digby has worked with the Mary Free Bed Advisory Group and Mary Free Bed on several initiatives, including our Educational Academy offerings for the PPS IRF-PRO Labs, clinical documentation improvement, coding and consulting.
Recently, inpatient rehabilitation facilities have been under increased scrutiny and targeted by audits searching for improper payments and potential fraud. The rehabilitation organizations are asked to provide documentation and proof that their payments are correct and meet the regulatory requirements.
We’ve invited Digby onto the show to share some of the insights and tips she gives organizations facing similar scrutinies. On this episode of Be Advised, Paula discusses:
- The potential pitfalls within documentation and coding
- Common questions from organizations working with her
- Error rates and financial impacts
- When do organizations find coding issues
- How poor documentation impacts reimbursement
- And more!
Be Advised is hosted by Joyal Pavey, vice president of the Mary Free Bed Advisory Group. Pavey and Digby have worked together for the past nine years. You can tell from the episode that they have a wealth of knowledge and experience in this space, and it made a great conversation!
