HOSPICE EDUCATION NETWORK NOTES

ADRs: What can you do?

CHALLENGE: Is your hospice experiencing a high number of Additional Development Requests (ADRs) or claim denials? Are you concerned about a probe edit or Targeted/Focused Medical Review? Are you worried about the potential loss of revenue due to poor documentation of patient eligibility?
SOLUTION: The Hospice Education Network (HEN) offers an e-learning course that focuses on the basics of the proper ADR process.
ADRs: Additional Development Requests (665)
This module provides basic information on the Additional Development Request ("ADR") process and helps the viewer understand the role of the Regional Home Health and Hospice Intermediary ("RHHI") in terms of medical review, claim denials, and the appeal process.
This module also touches on the Local Coverage Determination ("LCD") guidelines published by the RHHIs, and provides helpful suggestions for responding to ADRs in an appropriate and timely fashion.
