Management

Please read and review the text Chapter#6 “Billing Systems”, Appendix-C “Glossary of Reimbursement Terminology” and the attached supplemental article from the AARC on RC-related billing Codes. An investigation by the Center for Public Integrity has found that physicians and other medical professionals have steadily billed higher rates for treating elderly patients on Medicare over the last decade- adding an estimated $11 billion to their fees and signaling a possible rise in medical billing abuse. Medical groups argue that the fee hikes are justified because treating seniors has grown more complex and time-consuming, both due to new technology and declining health status. The rise in fees may also be a reaction to years of “under-charging”, and reflect more accurate billing. The fees are currently based on a system of billing codes that is structured to make higher payments for treatments that take more time and effort (more acutely ill/complex patients). However, the Center’s analysis of Medicare claims from 2001-2010 revealed that over time, thousands of providers turned to more expensive Medicare billing codes, while spurning use of cheaper ones. They did so despite little evidence that Medicare patients as a whole are older or sicker than in past years, or that the amount of time doctors spent treating them on average was rising.Based on the information contained in the text, please discuss several of the more common billing errors noted in audits. How can RC managers help to reduce billing errors and unintended fraudulent billing practices? https://learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet02-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com/5b5f14122f630/1185664?X-Blackboard-Expiration=1616230800000&X-Blackboard-Signature=YH9b%2FYg8tf1lENH7lWhTJauPLebwfz9E45WzdlL5EEQ%3D&X-Blackboard-Client-Id=250041&response-cache-control=private%2C%20max-age%3D21600&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27CodingGuidelines_AARC_Nov2013_rev-072514%25281%2529.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20210320T030000Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=21600&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAZH6WM4PL5SJBSTP6%2F20210320%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=aeb90549e49f99a25dabaea2ff8696fdd8c5d75efaebd2d3c9845ed22fc1da75

The Bell and Martin (2012) required reading contains a brief case study for the hypothetical company, Fastlink. Read the case study on pages 111 and 112 carefully.Assume that you are F. Smith, Fastlink’s president. When you hired J. Parson as the customer care director you intuited that this hire would be the one to turn around the disastrous performance of Fastlinks’ call center. The call center success is one that other Fastlink Directors could learn from. As President, you want to provide training/learning opportunities for all managers and hope that the successes can be replicated in other areas of Fastlink. But first, you must understand what strategies and tactics most influenced the turnaround.You (as Smith) have been doing some critical thinking about Parson’s hiring process, communication style, and managerial communication skills. To guide your thinking, you have compiled the following questions:Was there anything in my management style that impacted my decision to hire Joe?Was there anything in the hiring process that influenced the way that Joe tackled the new role?What is Joe’s likely communication style, and how did he use that style to the company’s advantage?How did managerial communication play a major role in Joe’s turnaround strategy?What general management areas needed attention?What made the biggest impact on the call center? Why?Now, prepare a briefing document for an upcoming meeting with the director of learning/training and staff. Include an introduction, substantiated answers to the questions, and a concluding statement that you want to leave with the learning professionals.Include four scholarly references in addition to the attachments.
