Most claims today are submitted through an electronic format directly or indirectly through a “clearinghouse” where claims are grouped and sent to the payer. Two primary payment grouping algorithms are DRG’s and APCs, both are used by Medicare for hospital payment and many commercial payers. Providers and payers use claims editing software to detect possible errors in claim submission to assure maximum payment for medical services and to shorten an amount of time from claim submission to payment. CMS has developed the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) to promote national correcting coding methodologies and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment (Cleverley 26). CMS also has designated edit checks called the outpatient code edits (OCE). The OCE uses claim-level and line item-level information in the editing process. Each category in the OCE has six dispositions which help to ensure all Fiscal Intermediary/Medicare Administrative Contractor (FI/MACs). The four claim-level is rejection, denial, return to provider, and suspension; and the two-line item-level is rejection and

Since, it take a while to resolve the issue AGP we will override TFO. NICU claims are only reimbursable under the Newborn ID and authorization. However, Well Newborn claims are reimbursable so long as the inpatient stay matches the days covered under the mother’s authorization.

| Prospective Payment System (PPS) first began in 1980 with a small number of hospitals partitioned into three groups according to their budget positions---breakeven, surplus, and deficit--- prior to the imposition of DRG payment (Diagnosis- related group). The PPS as DRG’s had been designed to limit the share of hospital revenues derived from the Medicare program budget, and in spite of doubtful results in New Jersey, it was decided in 1983 to impose DRG’s on hospitals nationwide.
All newborn encounters automatically appear in the Account DNB WQ; because the insurance is populated based on the mother coverage at the time of birth, which generate an error for the coverage not effective on discharge date, which qualify the encounter for the WQ. At that point, the account remains on the WQ until we can verify that newborn has active insurance coverage.

Prenatal care is defined as care of a pregnant woman during the time in the maternity cycle that begins with conception and ends with the onset of labor.

It is important for a pregnant woman as well as our society to know that everything that you do has an effect on your baby.
