13 HDHPs/HSAs How do patients manage? Worst Case: Patients Chose for the Low Premium Option They Do Not Fully Fund Their HSA They Avoid Health Care to Avoid Extra Cost They Do Not Actively Participate in Healthcare Choices & Healthy Lifestyle Choices They Do Not Understand Their Plan
14 HDHPs & HSAs How How You Manage Recognize When a Patient t has a HDHP Identify HDHP Names with Your Payors Look for Zero co pay on Cards Look for High Deductibles on Cards Ask the Patient When in Doubt, Call the Insurance Company

18 Legal Considerations in the Collection Process SUSAN E. ZIEL NURSE ATTORNEY AND PARTNER KRIEG DEVAULT LLP
19 Bad Debt Requirements 42 CFR Bad debt reimbursed by Medicare but only if: Db Debt relates to covered services, derived d from deductible/coinsurance amounts Reasonable collection efforts were made Debt uncollectible when claimed as worthless No likelihood of recovery in future
20 Covered Services Covered services Medically necessary Prior authorization/certification Fee schedule Exceptions to fee schedule
21 Reasonable Collection Efforts Comparable efforts for Medicare and all non Medicare patients Issuance of bill post discharge/death to patient or third party responsible for financial obligations Subsequent billings, collection letters, telephone calls May include collection agency and court action, as necessary Documentation required
22 Collection Efforts (cont.) Social Security Act 1128A: illegal remuneration to Medicare patients includes waiver of coinsurance/deductible amounts, subject to certain exceptions 1128B(b): illegal remuneration to Medicare patients OIG Fraud Alert (1991) (99) Routine waiver of coinsurance and deductible amounts after billing Medicare for full charge represents a false claim
23 Collections Db Debt deemed d uncollectible without ih applying li Medicare reasonable collection efforts if indigence confirmed and no evidence of improvement in patient s financial condition
24 Indigence/Financial Need Establish before discharge or within reasonable time before current admission Determined by provider, not patient Take into account patient s total resources Determine no other source legally responsible for bill File documentation : policy, application, supporting documentation Sliding scale, extended payment, or both Update at least every four (4) months

29 Bad Debt in Perspective ACA: Fastest growing segment of bad debt in economy Trending toward 7 % of hospital revenue MGMA: Patient responsible heading for 30% ACA: < 10% recovery average for health care bad debt Most providers po desdon t have aegood insight sg into their own performance measures, benchmarks, data
