Documentation assistance will help physicians
meet new ICD-10 requirements
Lafayette Radiology, based in Lafayette, Indiana, has tapped
McKesson Business Performance Services (McKesson) to provide a full
range of revenue cycle management services, including ICD-10
education and support.
Services will include documentation training, coding, claims
management, denial management, compliance and business intelligence
reporting.
Lafayette is a community-based, eight-physician imaging practice
affiliated with Franciscan St. Elizabeth Health. The practice is
responsible for about 117,000 procedures annually. Teresa Mitchell,
Lafayette Radiology’s executive director, said the group sought out
documentation and coding expertise to help improve performance in
the ICD-10 era.
“McKesson’s continuing documentation education is helping our
staff adjust to the new world of ICD-10,” Mitchell said. “At the
same time, we are benefiting greatly from McKesson’s long-standing
expertise in radiology coding, billing, denial management and
compliance. We see this relationship as a major step forward as our
practice adapts to a changing healthcare environment.”
Mitchell added that “McKesson’s business intelligence reporting
will be beneficial in managing the organization and identifying
opportunities for future growth. Of particular value are trending
reports that provide information on case mix and productivity.”
In addition to billing, McKesson will support the PQRS
(Physician Quality Reporting System) requirements of the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Pat Leonard, president of McKesson Business Performance
Services, said McKesson is enthusiastic about aligning with a key
community health resource like Lafayette Radiology.
“McKesson is committed to working with practices of all sizes
and configurations in communities across the country,” Leonard
said. “Regardless of the specific market conditions organizations
face, McKesson can help them prosper in today’s uncertain
healthcare climate.”
