Implementing Medicare pricing is costly and resource intensive
You need a pricing solution that meets provider contract requirements, but Medicare’s patchwork of fee schedules and groupers are complicated, and may not be appropriate for all scenarios. This can lead to delayed updates and the inability to trace pricing results back to current Medicare policies, costing additional resources and time.
Leverage flexible and up-to-date claim pricing
The Medicare Reference Pricer provides complete and up-to-date Medicare payments with the flexibility to extend Medicare to commercial and individual claim pricing. Now, you can easily adjust payment components and relativities, as well as extend pricing to non-Medicare covered services and percent of Medicare reimbursement provisions. The software can be deployed as a web service or as a batch process, and is integrated into the web-based claims examiner support system.
