ChargeMASTER
ChargeMASTER is a comprehensive resource for hospital chargemaster and MIS staff.
Since it is a web-based application, ChargeMASTER is available to analyze your CDM any time you need it. The system can instantly pinpoint items that need to be updated for regulatory compliance and identify new or revised codes that will increase reimbursement yields.
ChargeMASTER contains 3 modules:
- Coding Alerts: invalid/incorrect HCPC/CPT/Revenue Codes, Fraud and Abuse Alerts
- Pricing Analysis: uniform pricing issues and charges that are below OPPS payment rates
- CDM Modeling: Companion Code models, CPT department models
In addition, ChargeMASTER provides information to assist the user in identifying possible solutions. Subscriptions to MediRegs are automatically integrated into the reports.
Here's how it works. You submit your CDM for review via a password-protected, encrypted Internet VPN. You receive back a comprehensive report.
Your ChargeMASTER report:
- Shows you how/where to immediately bring your CDM into regulatory compliance.
- Identifies coding errors that would cause claims to be rejected.
- Identifies linked (companion) codes that are missing from your CDM.
- Identifies charges that are below OPPS rates.
- Shows you how to correct errors so they do not recur.
- Frees CDM staff from tedious research and compliance responsibilities.
