HealthDataInsights posts several new RAC DME claim issues
Recovery Auditor Report, November 12, 2009
HealthDataInsights (HDI) has added multiple new RAC issues to their CMS-approved list in late October and early November. The new issues are approved for RAC audits in Region D for DME claims.
According to the HDI Web site, the new issues and their descriptions are as follows:
-
PEN supplies more than one time a day. The description or the billing guidelines state parenteral/enteral nutrition codes are allowed once a day.
-
Infusion pump denied/Accessories and drug codes should be denied. When the infusion pump is denied, then the infusion accessories and infusion drug codes are also denied.
