What Is The 18 Open Claims Review

What were the main instances that you have seen, if any, Safe Harbor was invoked?

Rather than having the other claims adjusted, the provider insisted that we not look into the matter further because they did not want us to take back any money. Sadly this is just one example of fraud; it is not uncommon to see providers change the coding of claims to get something that they know should not be paid to process for payment. Cracking down on this type of fraud will reduce the amount of money paid out on claims by insurance carriers. Since claims payments directly affect the cost of insurance, this will also help in lowering premiums.

Koste, supra, 204 Md. App at 585. In light of the circumstances surrounding the passage of the 2007 amendment to the HCGPP, Major Lachman’s and Griffin’s testimony regarding pass-through benefits, and the 2013 amendment to the HCGPP, we are satisfied that the intent of subsection three of the Overtime and Compensatory Time section of the HCGPP was that a PSSI would be afforded only one four hour award of call-in pay per stand-by period. We recognize, however, that the interpretive value of this intent, however, is discounted by the fact that this intent was so poorly expressed in the terms of the HCGPP. Nevertheless, we are confident that the intent of the Howard County Council and the Board was that a PSSI would be entitled to a call-in pay award for the first call-in during any one stand-by period, notwithstanding the fact that this intent was poorly expressed in the HCGPP. For the reasons stated in Part III, infra, however, our holding is bolstered by the significant deference we afford to the Board’s interpretation of its regulations in circumstances such as

On May 8, 2013, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff issued a two-page ruling that dismissed the claims in the lawsuit seeking penalties under the False Claims Act, but allowed the claims that sought penalties under Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) to advance. The relevance of the False Claims Act and the FIRREA Law will be further explored in this case. (Viswanatha, Aruna, 2013)

OCE designed to processes claims for all outpatient institutional providers including hospitals that are subject to the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) as well as hospitals that are NOT (Non-OPPS). Each OCE results in one of six different dispositions. The dispositions help to ensure that all fiscal intermediaries are following similar procedures. There are four claim-level dispositions: Rejection, Claim must be corrected and resubmitted; denial, claim cannot be resubmitted but can be appealed; return to provider, problems must be corrected and claim resubmitted; and suspension, claim requires further information before it can be processed. There are two line item–level dispositions: rejection, claim is processed but line item is rejected and can be resubmitted later; and denial, claim is processed but line item is rejected and cannot be resubmitted.

The government declined to intervene in the qui tam claim, which led Bledsoe to pursue the FCA claim on his own in May of 1999. According to the Bledsoe, the government has been in contact with CHS as of 1997 for CHS audit findings of medical coding irregularities. An ongoing investigation was in effect when Bledsoe filed the FCA claim. In any event, the government had sought an alternate remedy and pursued a separate case against CHS with the relator’s qui tam action (Compliance Issues in the Life Sciences: Fraud and Corruption 222).

My view of the HAPI medical professional liability program (program) administrated by CAP remains favorable. My review of the selected claim files revealed no deficiencies in either their reserving or in the management of the claims. The HAPI claim files continue to be solely managed by CAP’s Sr. Claims Specialist, Steve Weitzer who has been overseeing this program for the past 19 years. Mr. Weitzer reports directly to HAPI’s Executive Vice President, Norm Slaustas. Both Mr. Weitzer and Mr. Slautas are highly engaged with one another working in partnership to produce a quality claims product on behalf of HAPI and their insured members. Based on the results of my review, we can expect HAPI along with CAP to have a positive impact on the overall

Thereafter, claims are managed on a 90 day diary cycle, where a reserve analysis is required with each diary review.
