Medical necessity checking is quick and convenient with single keystroke execution.
If you're looking for a simple and effective way to check medical necessity and ensure that your facility will be fairly reimbursed for the services you provide, SCC's SoftCompliance is a fast and convenient solution. SoftCompliance provides automated Medical Necessity Checking during SoftLab order entry. This software tool enables you to print an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) form for the patient's signature for tests that don't pass medical necessity checking.
SoftCompliance automatically matches allowed diagnosis codes (per LCD/NCD) to each ordered test for up to 20 diagnosis codes. When all ordered diagnosis codes are entered, medical necessity checking is executed with just one keystroke. If no matches can be made, a message is displayed to the user, and the user may print an ABN at this time for the patient's signature.
Automatic matching of allowed diagnosis codes, ABN, and GA modifier capabilities increase laboratory revenue by reducing denials and allowing your facility to capture revenue that might otherwise be lost by enabling you to billing patients for denied tests for which you have obtained signed ABNs.
SoftCompliance provides:
Automated medical necessity checking and diagnosis assignment according to LMRP and NCD rules
Automatic printing of ABNs when necessary
Accommodates multiple regions capability regardless of independent laboratory location
Simple and cost effective installation
