List will initially include the more than 1,140 number alerts already sent by payers and will be continually updated as more are provided
NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#healthcare–Experian® Health today made available a free comprehensive list of COVID-19 and telehealth payer policy alerts for United States hospitals, medical groups, pharmacies and specialty healthcare service organizations. Experian Health is a leading provider of revenue cycle management products that address claims management, payer contract management and patient collections.
Payer policy alerts are provided by commercial, Medicare and Medicaid payers and summarize changes to medical coverage policies from those organizations. Staying up to date with rapidly changing payer reimbursement, coverage and medical coding policies will help providers avoid payment delays and costly re-work. At the time of this writing, Experian Health has 1,140 Experian Health payer alerts related to COVID-19 and telemedicine policy changes.
Hospitals and healthcare organizations can register here to access the list.
“Providers and payers are working nonstop adapting their systems to the many and immediate challenges created by COVID-19,” said Jennifer Schulz, group president at Experian Health. “The sheer volume of alerts reflects the level of change and innovation required to address a crisis of this magnitude. Many providers are relying much more on remote scheduling and telehealth tools to protect patients and staff and create order out of chaos. Experian Health believes offering a central, comprehensive policy alert list at no cost to all relevant organizations will simplify a time-consuming task, helping providers stay on top of information critical to their operations while they confront this crisis head on.”
This public service to the healthcare community will continue to be updated and remain free as long as alerts related to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be distributed.
