CMS says majority of diabetics can be taught to self-manage Fact: It is CMS's firm and unwavering opinion that the majority of diabetics can be taught to self manage their insulin regime. This opinion has been the primary basis for countless payment denials. In the absence of federal guidance on how to manage these patients, most providers experience denials even when their clinicians thought they had done everything correctly. Fact: BID Diabetic Outlier Episodes Do Occur… yet with the lack of federal guidance and rate of claim denials, can home care afford to serve Medicare's neediest patients? A leading home care consultant and former regulator says 'YES'… and adds that it is your responsibility to ethically serve these patients. Serious questions for ethical diabetic care providers: · Do you lose money serving BID Diabetic patients? · Do you submit appropriate claims but continually battle denials with your FI, QIC and the Administrative Law Judge? · Do you believe you are providing appropriate BID care but worry about how it might look to regulators? · Do you avoid providing care to the neediest patients for all the wrong reasons? Now, there is a teaching guide based on years of reasons for payment denials. This guide, compiled by former California Department of Health Services regulator Michael McGowan, has just been recorded as an online video streamed seminar so that you can learn McGowan's methodology without waiting for the next time he comes to your city. Following this program will help you meet payer expectations, improve quality of life for your diabetic patients and assure that your claims qualify for payment. Agencies taught by Michael McGowan, a veteran of hundreds of successful ALJ appeals, have achieved more than 90% payment success by using his techniques.
