- ImmunizationsMedications that are prescribed and administered in the inpatient setting are bundled into the payment for a particular DRG. Many drugs administered in the outpatient setting, such as local anesthesia, are bundled into the payment for a specific procedure under the Part B program, though Part B does pay for vaccinations, and for other pharmaceuticals such as steroid injections or chemotherapy. Part D covers medications that are usually self-administered by the patient.
- Mental HealthThe Medicare program with which most people are familiar is Part B. Medicare Part B provides reimbursement for physician services, services by other licensed healthcare providers (nurse practitioners, physical therapists, nutritionists, counselors, etc.), diagnostic laboratory and radiological tests, and procedures performed in the outpatient setting. For physical medical and surgical services, patients are responsible for 20 percent co-insurance. For mental health services, the co-insurance is currently 45 percent, though coverage is gradually being adjusted on an annual basis until it will match that of other medical services. Patients are responsible for an annual deductible before full Part B coverage begins.
- ChemotherapyMedical Oncology Billing Services involve expensive drugs, chemotherapy/nonchemotherapy infusions, hydration, etc. Billing timely and correctly the first time is important as expensive mistakes are costly. FM Physician Billing ensures that you are billing the correct units, correct hours of treatment and ensure correct coding i.e. Initial, Subsequent, and Concurrent. We periodically provide in-house audits to ensure that your chart documentation accurately reflects your billing. Most importantly FM Physician Billing avoids costly oncology billing mistakes i.e. billing J-Codes at the incorrect units, diagnosis code or administration codes.
