Your Current Source for All APC Information

 
Let's face it – the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) is complex, cumbersome and confusing – and it’s not going away! With the rules changing every quarter, coding and reimbursement processes can be extremely painful.

APC Assistant™, from Ingenix, can help.
 
Developed in conjunction with the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), APC Assistant™ is a comprehensive, web-based resource containing all of the latest APC regulatory information, so you can successfully navigate your way through the OPPS.

APC Assistant™ can replace expensive and cumbersome books and references and is an invaluable tool for both providers and payers.

 Benefits for Providers
  Improve cash flow by submitting accurate
     claims the first time.
  Increase revenue by identifying alternate
     codes for HCPCS codes no longer
     accepted by Medicare.
  Improve CDM Accuracy by downloading
     information on APC code changes.
 Benefits for Payers
  Accurately assess the profitability of contracts.
  Save time and money by refining your payment
     systems.
  Easily identify and correct claim errors.
  Quickly access resources that help you explain
     why a code was denied or why an edit occurred.

Ingenix experts continually scrutinize the Federal Register, Medicare Program Memoranda and the Medicare Outpatient Code Editor (OCE), identifying and analyzing the constantly changing and largely undocumented OPPS rules, so that you don’t have to. The latest information is incorporated into APC Assistant™ each quarter along with 'real world' examples that explain the applicability of that information.

With APC Assistant™, you'll realize a quick return on investment as your organization begins to catch and correct errors before they become a financial drain. Simply fix a handful of high dollar rejections or claim errors and APC Assistant™ will have paid for itself!
