#2 Failing to evaluate and adjust your Point System on a systematic basis.
The 2nd most common mistake is that the Facility Point System is not regularly evaluated to capture all services. A point system would be a consistent methodology for assigning an ED Facility Level based on the work performed by the ED staff. An interesting fact is, that to this date, there are no national standards for assignment of hospital Facility Levels.
Your Point System should correlate with the resources utilized to provide a given service such as employee wages, employee benefits and facility costs. In summary, the ED Facility code should reflect the intensity of the hospital services that is provided.
BDA provides its clients with a detailed summary that identifies key coding issues such as invalid, deleted or revised codes and descriptive changes. A customized Action Plan is developed and implemented over the life of the engagement.
