A new package of software and consulting services designed to address the challenge facing today's healthcare providers of maintaining Chargemaster regulatory compliance while concurrently receiving appropriate reimbursement is now being offered by BESLER Consulting.
Called CDM Focus Plus, the package of services combines the benefits of an automated Chargemaster monitoring system with an array of CDM consulting services designed to meet the unique needs of healthcare providers.
"Many providers are learning that automated monitoring of their Chargemaster is not, by itself, sufficient in meeting the needs of an organization that might lack technical resources and is unable to provide on-going departmental education," according to Brian Sherin, Vice President of BESLER Consulting.
On the other hand, he says, "many providers are discovering that technical services and continuing education are not enough in the absence of an automated monitoring system."
"The CDM Focus Plus provides both solutions," says Mr. Sherin. "We combine the web-based application of the CDM Focus product - developed by our technology company Innovative Health Solutions - that automatically identifies potential coding compliance issues and opportunities, supplemented with our consulting services."
The CDM Focus Plus consulting services include the following choices:
Technical Telephone Support
Targeted E-mail Alerts
Continuing Education
Quarterly Compliance Review
Annual Deficiencies Review
CDM Maintenance Management
"Coupled with our consulting services we are helping clients significantly by addressing the issues identified by the automated monitoring systems and providing front line education," says Mr. Sherin. "Now providers can have the best of both worlds: web-based automation of Chargemaster maintenance and the availability of our consulting expertise."
