ClaimTrust Introduces Newsletter to Provide Medicare News and Coding Knowledge

Murfreesboro, Tennessee, October 25, 2010… ClaimTrust, a leading provider of revenue cycle tools and services for hospitals, has today announced that their free monthly newsletter, ClaimTrust Regulatory News, is now available for subscription at www.claimtrust.com.  The free monthly newsletter provides a convenient source of Medicare information for many hospital and healthcare professionals—including revenue cycle, patient accounting, Health Information Management (HIM) and Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) staff.

The newsletter features timely links and posts covering a range of healthcare revenue cycle topics, including compliance, Medicare updates, the RAC program, regional Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) transitions, and 5010 and ICD-10 conversion.

“Our goal is to ensure claims meet 100% of the compliance standards. We operate in such a constantly changing reimbursement world and healthcare professionals have to do so much reading to stay on top of these changes,” said Mary Guarino, ClaimTrust’s VP of Regulatory. “What we’ve done with this monthly newsletter is provide an email that summarizes the changes every month and provides educational links, especially for Medicare. I started doing this for my RNs and coders who build the clinical logic for our claim scrubber and medical necessity products. Then we rolled it out as an educational Medicare newsletter to our clients, and now we are sending it as free newsletter to any hospital staff who sign up on the website.”  

Interested revenue cycle, patient accounting, HIM and RAC staff can subscribe to the ClaimTrust Regulatory News at www.claimtrust.com.
