Failure to meet Medicare medical necessity requirements can result in lost revenue in the form of denied claims or denied line items, payment delays, prolonged A/R cycles, or reduced cash flow – as well as costs associated with medical necessity resolution, claims rework, and resubmission.

3M Health Information Systems and Corporate Research Group invite you to attend an informative and free webinar, titled Strategies for Managing Medical Necessity and Enabling Clean Physician Orders, on Thursday, April 3, 2008.


Learning Objectives
Pre-service medical necessity validation is legally required, has a positive impact on reimbursements, and can be used to improve code selection and create clean physician orders. Tune into this live 60-minute webinar from the convenience of your office to learn how to:
  • Use standard, electronic requisition forms to eliminate incomplete or inaccurate outpatient physician orders and code selection
  • Resolve HIM concerns about code selection in patient access without clinical or coding expertise
  • Provide physicians and office staff direct access to medical necessity policies
  • Reduce hospital registration staff calls to physician offices to resolve medical necessity issues
  • Realize greater cost savings and work efficiencies by using electronic CPT®, ICD-9, HCPCS and NCD and LCD manuals
  • Create, print, and store ABNs
  • Communicate the benefits of pre-service medical necessity validation to all stakeholders including physicians, office managers, hospital and practice staff, and patients
3M Health Information Systems offers flexible solutions designed to help verify, review, and manage the medical necessity process on the front-end. We also provide a secondary medical necessity check at key points in the revenue cycle after services are rendered and before the bill is dropped.
