DRG Window Auditor

72-hour Rule Compliance
Ensure compliance with the 72-hour rule.
The DRG Window Auditor software is designed to assist hospitals in complying with the 72-hour (or the “three-day window”) rule. The rule states that reimbursement for any hospital outpatient diagnostic or other services provided three days prior to an admission is included in the DRG payment for the hospital stay. MedCom’s DRG Window Auditor duplicates the prior period reviews initially performed by the OIG,so its diligent utilization and the timely resolution of claims discrepancies should provide suffcient protection from future false claims allegations.

Accurate monitoring and tracking is embedded within the software.
The DRG Window Auditor software imports the 835 Electronic Remittance Advice les into the database. The software documents the diligent and routine testing of Medicare payment activity, the disposition of each potential violation, and the timely repayment of any intermediary overpayments and any applicable deductibles. The software produces multiple reports, including the 72-hour Potential Exception report used for researching specifc potential exceptions. The DRG Window Auditor allows for the testing of claims from a hospital's satellite operations, some of which may utilize separate provider numbers and/or different billing systems.

Additional add-ons are available:

DRG Corporate Auditor
MedCom’s DRG Corporate Auditor will take the 72-hour Settlement Agreement to the new corporate level. If you are a provider that owns two or more facilities under a corporation, DRG Corporate Auditor software can be used to identify intra-facility exceptions.

DRG Transfer Auditor
MedCom's DRG Transfer Auditor software will compare admission and discharge dates for patients that have been transferred to or from a facility. The software scrutinizes the 835 for DRG types that cannot have a discharge date but must have a transfer date instead.
