Anyone else going through the TPE process? If so what all information did you guys send in On top of the required information?
Triple Penetrated Entrails?
Places generally like to keep it on the DL, and don't necessarily want it to be common knowledge that they're being audited by CMS.Whelp, I learned something new today. I don't know if my company would get field crews involved with that, but I guess if they have us do CMS/compliance training every year, I don't see why they wouldn't communicate with us about this too?
I would say it's not quite an audit. I have my basic but I also have my CAC and am the billing and AR manager. When I went to the billing class this past summer it was explained by PWW that this would become a very common thing for most agencies and is more of a learning/teaching process that would help with compliance across the board. We rarely get denials and have never had any compliance issues but we are mostly just a NonE transport company. So i'm guessing that was the reason for us getting chosen. Im oddly a little excited to see the outcome. We have outstanding EMTs that have amazing documentation skills after all of the InServices we have had. And our QI process is pretty strong. I believe we should have no problems passing with flying colors. But now that I see not many people know about this process maybe it should be more put out there!Places generally like to keep it on the DL, and don't necessarily want it to be common knowledge that they're being audited by CMS.
When a federal agency comes to examine your operation to make sure you are in compliance, it's an audit. They can call it whatever they want….just because it's gentler and starting to happen more frequently doesn't make it any less of an audit.I would say it's not quite an audit.
