The data submitted represents X months of billing activity based on charges that were submitted between <date> and <date>. The purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate the capabilities of ClaimsManager as well as demonstrate a potential Return on Investment (ROI). The results are not intended to be an exact representation of how ClaimsManager will function within your environment. This analysis is based strictly on general coding rules and sourced industry standard edits contained within ClaimsManager. In addition, you may identify requirements for custom rules specific to your environment and/or payers. For the purpose of this analysis, we did not include the additional benefits or potential for additional ROI that are derived when the system is installed and you are able to customize these rules to reflect the unique reimbursement methodologies of your regional payers. Data submitted included Commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare lines of business, which were run through the professional module of the ClaimsManager software based on unmodified or standard rulesets. The Commercial line of business claims were edited using the Commercial ruleset. The Medicaid line of business claims were edited using the Medicaid ruleset. The Medicare line of business claims were edited using the Medicare ruleset including Medicare Coverage Data for <State>. Optum’s approach for this analysis is as follows: 1) Date of service is the source for edits that occur, process date is not utilized, and 2) review and update of millions of edits on a quarterly basis. The editing product will potentially elicit multiple edits on any given claim line that it analyzes. In order to provide mutually exclusive reporting, Optum utilizes a methodology that prioritizes the edits on each claim line and only counts the single highest priority edit that occurs on each claim line. Ultimately, as this report illustrates, ClaimsManager will provide <Client> with the following benefits: Cost savings and improved staff productivity o Correct issues at the least costly point in the workflow (up-front vs. back-end as claim rejection) o Using the quarterly updates Optum provides in the ClaimsManager knowledgebase rather than building hard-coded edits or clinical coding scenarios o Instead of excessive manual review and labor intensive charge corrections, leverage technology to automate workflow with ClaimsManager o Increase staff productivity, with far fewer manual activities Confidential Copyright (c) 2014 OptumInsight CPT codes, descriptions, and other CPT material copyright (c) 2013 American Medical Association 1 OptumInsight Product Assessment for <Client> With greater staff productivity, position your organization to more easily grow your business without having to add new FTEs Improved cash-flow o Fewer claim rejects leads to quicker overall payment Increased revenue o Identify legitimate additionally billable revenue by auto-identifying incomplete charges Support your compliance o Reduce the risk associated with Provider compliance to government guidelines o Provide detailed reporting to trends of both over-coding and under-coding o Provide detailed reporting to provide education to both providers and coding staff o Improve consistency and accuracy of coding and billing o The additional information provided in the Category III (Potential Denial Edits) and Category IV (Informational Edits) edits provide a substantial opportunity to improve your workflow and claims process, thus providing more additive value from ClaimsManager. Return on Investment Based on the data received, and using conservative calculation methodologies (which are further delineated in this document), the potential calculated return on investment (ROI) is X:1. For unbilled revenue and expenses relating to resubmission of denied claims, the Commercial dataset identified $X, the Medicaid dataset identified $X, and the Medicare dataset identified $X. This results in a Total Annual Impact of $X divided by the annual system cost of $X. Details of these findings are outlined in the Annual Cost Justification section of this report.

This estimated cost includes the typical cost of labor to pull the patient’s record, compare the documentation to the codes assigned, make a decision regarding a more appropriate code combination, and finally the costs tied to actual resubmission of the claim to the payer. Note: Estimated typical cost of $25 to resubmit a claim is a value calculated by the American Medical Association Practice Management Center (PMC).

Confidential Copyright (c) 2014 OptumInsight CPT codes, descriptions, and other CPT material copyright (c) 2013 American Medical Association 5 OptumInsight Product Assessment for <Client> Edit Reporting Categories The Product Assessment report categorizes the ClaimsManager output into five categories that are weighted in importance and thus prioritized as follows: Category I – Non-billed Code Edits These edits identify services that were provided, but for which charges were not submitted. Category II – Resubmission/Review Edits These edits typically cause claim payment denials for coding and demographic errors, or errors that would result in reduced payment. By 1) correcting the errors identified on these patient bills or 2) following recommendations to send supporting documentation to justify services, a reduction in the number of times patient bills are resubmitted to a payer is realized. Category III – Potential Denial Edits These edits identify bundle issues (unbundle and rebundle errors), global period errors and other erroneous code relationships, which indicate a need for additional review of the use of codes or modifiers. They frequently identify scenarios where submission of additional documentation to the payer is needed to justify payment. In other cases, code combinations are identified that 1) could result in legitimate claim denials and 2) identify patient bills that may trigger reviews by outside agencies. In these cases, correction of the claim is accomplished by deleting the line containing the inappropriately billed code. Compliance Benefits: Since deletion of lines from the claims containing these edits occurs, this category of edits cannot be used to calculate return on investment. However, there is financial risk with any of these code combinations that could trigger an audit by a payer. Accounts Receivable Impact: With the opportunity to remove inappropriately billed services from claims prior to posting to Accounts Receivable, a practice can improve upon the accuracy in the amount of dollars it posts to A/R. Category IV – Informational Edits Informational edits are not directly related to savings, but they can be utilized in investigations and other measures that can bring benefits to a practice. Category V – Medicare Edits This category provides a list of all Medicare-specific edits that hit in Categories I-IV for a particular Medicare dataset.

Billed $ The Billed $ column represents the submitted charge associated with each line that elicits an edit. Non-billed Occurrences The Non-billed Occurrences is the number of occurrences in which the elicited edit has the highest priority for the claim line. The VEN edit will occur on each lab procedure and is only counted once per claim. Non-billed $ Non-billed $ represents dollars associated with codes that may be appropriate but do not appear in the data. Non-billed $ are portrayed as 100% of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (adjusted for your locality) for ease of interpretation. Category I results are factored into the return on investment. Listed below are areas of interest identified for review. The VEN edit (Venipuncture) occurs on claims where a code for a lab test that may require a blood specimen was billed but there was no code on the claim for the actual blood draw, for example 36415 Collection of venous blood by venipuncture. The INJ1 edit (Injection Procedure Not Reported with Reported Supply) occurs on lines from claims containing only an injected solution and not the code for the injection procedure. Optum calculates non-billed dollars for this edit by assuming the missing injection procedure is 96372 Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection (specify substance or drug); subcutaneous or intramuscular.
