Charge Master Reviews

A thorough examination of the charge master (CDM) and ancillary departments is a necessary starting point for compliance, payer reimbursement and ongoing maintenance. BKD Health Care Group’s CDM reviews address all Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System/ Current Procedure Terminology (HCPCS/CPT) Medicare codes, descriptions, revenue codes and unbundled codes for your facility’s services and procedures. We also provide customized, on-site education and training.

Our CDM reviews include automated methods of organizing the CDM, manual line-item review and on-site staff consultation. In our CDM reviews we:

  • Review service descriptions
  • Review all three levels of HCPCS/CPT codes
  • Assess revenue codes for consistency and compliance with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and your fiscal intermediary
  • Determine if replacement codes (panel code explosions) are complete and reimbursable
  • Create new line-items
  • Recommend changes, additions and deletions for all of the above
