Medicare Claims Service Case Study

402 Words2 Pages

I support the Medicare Claims Service (MCS) department for all of their reporting needs. This e-mail is intended for your awareness. I plan on scheduling a meeting with you and members of the MCRT (Medicare Claims Reporting Tool) team very soon to discuss the following information. When software developers designed the MCRT in 2010 to report information to Medicare, they did not build in a way for an average user to run any reports. Instead, they gave one of the Performance and Support team members access to the underlying tables. That team member is responsible for creation and maintenance for all reporting. All of the information is pulled from the underlying tables within the MCRT and the process has changed little over six years.

    Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ‘Obamacare’ was the expansion of Medicaid program across the states. Charles Barrilleaux and Carlisle Rainey look at why state government have opted out of the Medicaid expansion.

Whereas, the results show that the percentage uninsured in the state to have a small positive effect on the probability of opposition.

    Catherine, I did not realize how important the modifiers were to the Medicare billing process. Since reading some of the discussions this week I understand the role of modifiers much better. It is essential that we are able to choose the correct modifier because it can avoid fraud and abuse. After doing a little research I found that one of the top billing errors is from choosing the incorrect modifier.

These types of physicians have numerous clinic or health care facilities and are most likely to commit fraud. This seems kind of biased, but it’s true. According to, Ornstein, the most common sanctions are against physicians who have odd Medicare billing reputations (2014, title).

    The Federal and State governments share the cost of Medicaid. Fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid drain taxpayer dollars and cause improperly high payment rate. Modern Healthcare reported (2015) that in 2014, the government reported nearly $80 billion misspent on Medicaid and Medicare. New York City is an example of local government struggling with Medicaid fraud; New York Times (2005) suggests that 40 percent of NYC’s Medicaid payments are “questionable”.
