Complying with Medicare regulations and assuring patients are appropriately notified of their appeal rights as inpatients are two principal goals of any provider organization. Successful implementation of the new "Important Message from Medicare" will mitigate the risk of compliance or patient dissatisfaction. A review of the flow of provider information (both for the first and the second delivery of the notice) and all of the related internal and external systems is essential. Reviewing your current process and determining how to capture and validate individual providers all are essential to successful implementation

This Audio Webcast will walk through the issues that you need to address -- both the obvious and not so obvious -- and the decisions that you need to make for successful implementation. A case study and the decision process that one hospital system went through in their planning and implementation will also be discussed.
