New HCPCS Code Requirements for Supplies: Managing Your CDM to Avoid Claim Denials

In this episode of 1st Talk Compliance, Kevin Chmura and BreAnn Meadows discuss the challenges healthcare providers face due to payers increasingly denying claims for supplies that are missing HCPCS codes. The issue stems from recent payer policy changes, with supplies that were previously chargeable now being rejected if they lack a corresponding HCPCS code. The conversation tackles the complexities providers face in managing their chargemaster (CDM), maintaining accurate HCPCS coding, and addressing claim denials, which can result in lost revenue.

Tune in to equip yourself with actionable strategies to avoid claim denials, as Bre underscores the importance of adopting a strategic, focused approach to managing your CDM, adapting to evolving payer practices, and staying proactive in compliance efforts.
