3M™ APC Oversight assists your organization in grouping APCs‚ estimating costs and reimbursement‚ analyzing and reporting on outpatient claims data‚ and minimizing compliance risks. 3M consultants extract APC claims data from your billing system and assess critical areas in coding‚ charging‚ and billing that negatively impact reimbursement. 3M-defined reports graphically display areas for improving reimbursement‚ processes and compliance under the outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS).
The 3M APC Oversight Program is the optimal combination of information tools‚ training‚ and guidance to help organizations achieve appropriate OPPS reimbursement. This program is designed with daily‚ monthly‚ and quarterly reports and the support of teleconferences conducted regularly with an experienced consultant. Therefore‚ it does not require hospitals to have in-house OPPS experts‚ IT infrastructure‚ or sophisticated analyzing capabilities.
