Errors in coding and charging can cause the healthcare provider to lose significant amounts of revenue each month. Because of the complexities of the Chargemaster and associated order entry systems, it is extremely difficult to know if your CDM is accurate.

It is our combination of expertise and experience in the coding and compliance area as well as our ability to utilize the most current technologies that allows us to conduct a timely and detailed review. We customize our CDM Review process to meet the needs of our client. As a result, we are capable of conducting Chargemaster Reviews for a variety of healthcare providers from large hospital systems with physician groups to small, community hospitals.

• Upload Chargemaster data into our proprietary CDM Review Software so that errors can quickly and accurately be pinpointed and quantified.
• Conduct on-site interviews with department staff to determine what services are performed, how departments are interpreting the line items, and how the charge capture process works.
• Educate hospital staff to ensure that they are updated on regulatory changes, current on compliant charge capture processes, and knowledgeable about what is required to have a fully populated CDM.
• Provide specific Chargemaster line item recommendations to management for immediate implementation.
• Customize implementation for the client, including an electronic or manual option, based on the system.
• Conduct a post-implementation audit of Chargemaster changes to ensure the accuracy of the changes.
