Q: Is it necessary for organizations to provide HIPAA training for all workforce members, even those who are not involved in patient care? Does that include cafeteria staff, workers employed through a temp or staffing agency, etc.?
We are updating our charges in our RHC and we want to make sure we are capturing all of the preventive services that we can perform in our clinic. Along with that, we want to audit the documentation. Where can we find a list of RHC preventive services?
Q: Our facility has attempted to use the -X{EPSU} modifiers on 2017 and 2018 claims but our Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) did not process the claims. I reverted to using modifier -59 (distinct procedural service). Do you have any knowledge of when these modifiers might go into use?
Q: What should we report if you have a compression dressing that was applied to the thigh, in addition to the lower leg, since CPT code 29582 (multi-level compression bandage application, thigh to foot) was deleted for 2018?
Q: I work at a marketing company, and we are trying to figure out what exactly we can put on a postcard. What is required, per HIPAA regulations, to be fully compliant if we were to do things like dental patient reminders? We would have patient information from the offices. How would we need to handle that information? What are we allowed to include in our designs?
