In response to recent actions by CareFirst, Aetna, UnitedHealth and other and managed care plans to initiate post-payment medical record audits and to demand refunds from physicians for alleged "over-coding" of Evaluation and Management (E/M) visits, Health Care Advisors, Inc. created the Evaluation & Management Coding Enhancement Program (E-M-C-E), a cost-effective solution to help physicians preserve, protect and enhance E/M service revenues.
The E-M-C-E Program is a comprehensive analysis of a physician’s unique strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats relative to E/M visit documentation, coding and billing. The E-M-C-E Program measures each provider’s potential risk or enhancement opportunity through specialty-specific E/M code benchmarking and an independent chart and coding audit by a Certified Professional Coder. The data we provide is invaluable in today’s audit climate!

HCA offers Free Financial and Reimbursement Consultation. To provide physicians with an objective financial assessment of their practice, HCA would like to meet with the practice owners and perform a Free Financial & Reimbursement Consultation. Similar to a Preventive "H+P", the Free Consultation is a focused assessment of the practice’s revenue cycle (coding, documentation, pricing, billing and collections), financial and operational performance. HCA will provide their opinion and advice, impressions and recommendations in a written report, meet in person to discuss their findings and review in detail the options available to increase the profitability of your practice.
Take advantage of HCA’s free offer as our billing audits have proven that medical practices fail to collect 5% to 40% of net revenues due to internal factors under the control of the practice, coupled with the lack of meaningful financial and operational performance data. You can’t manage what you can’t measure (or monitor). Find out for yourself the revenue opportunities hidden within in your Revenue Cycle!
To receive your confidential Free Financial and Reimbursement Consultation, please complete the attached form and fax to HCA at (703) 642-5888. Please feel free to contact Brian Kane, CPA or Curt Udell, CPAR, CPC to discuss meeting or to confidentially discuss a pressing practice management issue. They can be reached at (703) 642-0100; Brian at extension 12, Curt at extension 25.
