Cd Corr- Health Care Costs

Abstract

Amends the Unified Code of Corrections concerning State correctional healthcare systems and State contracted managed correctional healthcare services. Provides that the State shall implement state-of-the art clinical code editing technology solutions to further automate claims resolution and enhance cost containment through improved claim accuracy and appropriate code correction. Provides that the technology shall identify and prevent errors or potential overbilling based on widely accepted and referenceable protocols such as the American Medical Association and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Provides that the edits shall be applied automatically before claims are adjudicated to speed processing and reduce the number of pended or rejected claims and help ensure a smoother, more consistent and more open adjudication process and fewer delays in provider reimbursement. Provides that the State shall implement automated payment detection, prevention, and recovery solutions to assure that Medicaid is billed for eligible inpatient hospital and professional services. Provides that the State shall implement correctional healthcare claims audit and recovery services to identify improper payments due to non-fraudulent issues, audit claims, obtain provider sign-off on the audit results and recover validated overpayments. Post payment reviews shall ensure that the diagnoses and procedure codes are accurate and valid based on the supporting physician documentation within the medical records.  Core categories of reviews could include: Coding Compliance Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) Reviews, Transfers, Readmissions, Cost Outlier Reviews, Outpatient 72-Hour Rule Reviews, Payment Errors, Billing Errors and others.
