Having trouble staying on top of all the regulatory changes?
MedCom's Regulatory Knowledge Base provides the tools necessary to keep up. Our software solution gives you the tools you need to be the experts in the healthcare regulations. The MedCom Regulatory Knowledge Base (MrKB) stores CMS publications including Transmittals, MLN Matters, Job Aids, and NCD documents (Decision Memos, Proposed Decision Memos, NCA's, NCL's, etc). This database can be searched for regulatory changes related to a particular subject or a particular code. Once located, they can be read or printed, emailed or filed. MrKB goes a step further and provides an expert's review of the publication, giving valuable interpretation and insight. To close the loop, this information can be combined with the chargemaster change request in MedCom's CMNavigator product.
