| Implement the new ESA transmittals in your hospital |
| Editor's note: This is the first article in a two-part series.
In January, CMS published three transmittals (Transmittals 1412, 1413, and 80) that significantly changed the process of billing for erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESA).
As noted in the March Briefings on APCs, hospitals that treat end-stage renal disease know these guidelines, but other facilities may find them difficult to implement.
An April 10 HCPro, Inc., audioconference, "New ESA Transmittals: Train Your Staff on Coverage Coding and Billing Guidelines," addressed this problem. |
