    Rising Dispute: Clinical Validation Audits

    The rise of third-party payer audits is no secret to healthcare professionals and facilities, but one type of audit has gained particular attention in recent years: the clinical validation audit.  Clinical validation audits ultimately lead to a downgrade of a hospital’s diagnostic-related group (DRG) payment, but the process by which they reach that result makes them particularly curious.  During utilization review, health plans make decisions about the patient’s care and, in the case of clinical validation audits, actually make determinations about whether documented medical diagnoses are “clinically valid”. Join us to hear how clinical validation audits work and the rise in provider disputes involving clinical validation audits. Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments: ·      POV: Penny Jefferson, Director of Coding & Clinical Documentation Integrity Services for the University of Davis Medical Center, will share her point of view during the broadcast. ·      CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson will provide an update on clinical documentation integrity (CDI). ·      SDoH Report: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, reports on the news that’s occurring at the intersection of medical records and federal regulations. ·      The Coding Report: Christine Geiger will report on the latest coding news.

    The Breach Impacting Coders, CDISs, HIM Professionals – and Millions

    It’s huge, and serious. Its implications may impact millions, even beyond the halls of healthcare. In fact, it’s the eighth-largest healthcare-related cybersecurity breach in U.S. history. In Texas alone, 15.4 million residents were involved – nearly half the state’s population. Oregon reports another 10.5 million. Other states are still notifying residents. The final number may climb even higher. The stolen data reportedly includes names, Social Security Numbers, medical information, and health insurance details. Reporting the details of this enormous data breach during the next episode of Talk Ten Tuesdays will be the legendary Rose Dunn, former president of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
