E-Prescriptions
E-prescriptions are prescriptions generated
on a computer created by the healthcare provider and then sent
through the computer directly to your pharmacy. Instead of writing
the prescription, the healthcare provider can enter it into
the computer. This transmission should be sent through a secure
and private network and not over an open Internet as an email.
Printing capabilities are still available and not lost with
this feature. |

ICD-10-CM
(International Classification
of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification).
ICD-10-CM was developed as a replacement for Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM
codes. They represent a uniform, international classification
system of describing diagnoses (for example: coding for diseases,
abnormal findings, symptoms and injury diagnoses). This coding
system is used worldwide for statistics and insurance reimbursement
which enables other medical professional in the United States
and several other parts of the world to understand the diagnosis
the same way. ICD-10 coding accommodates a host of new diagnoses
and procedures with more than 141,000 new codes.
Medical billers and coders who use these codes
to report health care diagnoses and procedures will have to
use the replacement of the ICD-9-CM codes with the ICD-10
code set which has been mandated by The Department of Health
and Human Services, effective Oct. 1, 2014 changing from the
original implementation date of October 1, 2013. Medical billers
should begin to get training to be well-positioned for the
coding switch.

Meaningful
Use
Meaningful use describe objectives and rules
to be met during the implementation of electronic
health records (EHRs). The rules
include concepts such as ensuring privacy and security of patients'
records, improving patient care coordination,
and making sure patients have access to those digital records.
Meaningful Use reimbursement payments
Reimbursement payments are based on the amount
of Medicare-covered professional services rendered during
the year in question. To determine how much will be reimbursed,
payments are calculated by multiplying the submitted allowable
charges to Medicare by 75%, up to the capped amount for the
year. For example, to collect the full incentive payment of
$18,000, you will need to submit at least $24,000 in allowable
Medicare charges. Eligible physicians who were compliant in
2011 or 2012 received and will receive the full benefit of
the maximum payment of $44,000 expected to be paid through
Medicare participation. After 2013, the payment amount decreases
for subsequent years with no payments being made after 2016.
