ATLANTA, April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Craneware,
Inc., the healthcare market leader in automated revenue integrity
solutions, today announced it will present alongside Southeastern
Ohio Regional Medical Center, a 92-bed acute health care hospital
based in Cambridge, OH, at the
National Association of Healthcare Access Management (NAHAM)
40th Annual Educational Conference.
Brenda Gress, PFS Revenue
Assurance Team Leader at Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center,
and Mary Guarino, Craneware Vice
President of Product Management, will lead a presentation titled,
"The Future of Patient Access: Preparing for ICD-10 Regulatory
Change," May 16 from 9:45 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. EDT in Hollywood, Fla. During the session, presenters
will discuss the elevated role of the patient access department in
the revenue cycle and key industry issues that impact patient
access departments including: outpatient medical necessity, ICD-10,
regional Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACS), commercial
payer rules and prior authorization. Southeastern Ohio Regional
Medical Center will also share key takeaways from its ICD-10
transition and share best practices for "non-coders" and nursing
teams to prepare for the transition.
"When new payor requirements are combined with the
implementation of ICD-10, the risk of outpatient denials is high
without the proper best practices in place. As patient access
becomes increasingly important to hospitals' achievement of revenue
integrity, organizations need to proactively implement strategies
and process improvements," said Keith
Neilson, Craneware CEO. "We are glad to present alongside
Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center to share keys to a
proactive patient access program."
