With the recently published and long-awaited CPAP local coverage determinations (LCDs), the intake, billing and reimbursement departments will require some new checks and balances if providers have any expectation of payment. That’s because the LCDs, which apply to dates of service on or after Sept. 1*, include newly imposed hoops for the provider to jump through in order to file a clean claim. The following hoops, which will need to be cleared first by intake staff or customer service, include the collection of documents that must be in a provider’s files. These documents must reflect that the patient had a face-to-face evaluation prior to the sleep test.
