Outpatient OPPS and CAH Reviews

Outpatient reimbursement reviews help hospitals achieve accurate payments, improve cash flow, prevent denials and delayed payments. ACS is committed to the facilitation of accurate outpatient coding, billing and documentation improvement for compliance with CMS regulations in the OPPS and CAH environment.

Outpatient Compliance Review

ACS compliance reviews are designed to include all aspects of outpatient coding, billing and documentation in all outpatient department areas.

This in-depth review of outpatient accounts encompasses the whole picture of an episode of care. Extensive education is provided to the department heads and other staff members from the coding and billing departments. At the conclusion of the review, an exit conference is conducted to discuss findings and determine recommendations for improvement.
