Enjoy the fascinating story of how the geniuses at Medicare failed to figure out that Medicare Advantage plans have been dodging the claims of their members who also receive treatment at the VA! In "Your Medicare Benefits 2024", we learn how Medicare pays for Children's Kidney Disease and Chiropractic Services. Doug's wife has been a happy client with High Deductible Plan G and now his 65th birthday is approaching and he wants in on the fun! Finally, we learn that some new programs are coming down the pike, including dementia support services in which volunteers are trained to care for dementia patients.

Senior Auditors Geoff Ferguson and Gris Soto discuss two related reports on improper payments for community acupuncture and chiropractic services and overall risks to evaluation and management services. In the first report, the VA OIG audited acupuncture and chiropractic care by non‑VA providers after becoming aware of patterns that suggested questionable billing practices by those providers. In the second report, the VA OIG conducted a review to identify and evaluate the VHA's risk of improperly paying community care providers for evaluation and management services not supported by medical documentation. Both reports were published on December 8, 2021. Referenced reports: VHA Improperly Paid and Reauthorized Non-VA Acupuncture and Chiropractic ServicesThe Office of Community Care, part of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), manages programs that allow veterans to receive medical care from non VA providers. This audit evaluated whether VHA paid for non-VA acupuncture and chiropractic care that was not authorized or supported by medical documentation. The audit team also assessed whether VHA followed guidance for reauthorizing the care. The team found that VHA paid for care that was not authorized, including for more visits than allowed and for treatments not allowed by standards for care. For example, some acupuncturists billed for more than two rounds of needle insertions when only two rounds were allowed. VA's automated system for processing claims did not prohibit unauthorized visits or unallowable treatments in claims submitted by non-VA providers. Further, VHA paid acupuncture and chiropractic claims that lacked appropriate supporting medical documentation. The unsupported payments persisted because VHA staff did not retroactively review documentation samples for deficiencies. The audit team estimated that improper payments for acupuncture and chiropractic care amounted to about $136.7 million during fiscal years 2018 and 2019. The audit team also found that VHA did not always follow guidance when reauthorizing acupuncture and chiropractic care. Not documenting assessments of prior treatments before authorizing additional care may interfere with veterans' treatment. The OIG made six recommendations to the under secretary for health related to adding automated payment system controls, auditing the payment process, retrospectively auditing non-VA medical documentation, making continuing education material related to medical documentation available to non-VA providers, following the Office of Community Care's Field Guidebook, and documenting clinical justification for non-VA care. VHA Risks Overpaying Community Care Providers for Evaluation and Management ServicesThe OIG conducted this review to determine the risk of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) improperly paying community care providers for evaluation and management services not supported by medical documentation. The review team found that some providers are billing VA at a significantly higher rate for high-level evaluation and management services than their peers in the same specialty. The team determined that in fiscal year (FY) 2020, more than 37,900 non-VA providers billed and were paid for significantly more high-level evaluation and management codes than were all providers in that specialty on average. These non-VA providers received about $39.1 million (13 percent) of the approximately $303.6 million paid for all non-VA evaluation and management services. Additionally, some providers billed separately for evaluation and management services during periods when the global surgery package was in effect. This package is supposed to cover all surgery-related services for a set period. The review team identified more than 45,600 providers who were paid about $37.8 million in FY 2020 for these evaluation and management services. Improper payments were not easy to detect because VHA staff did not retrospectively audit medical documentation as required. Additionally, the OIG found no evidence that VHA or contractors trained non VA providers on documenting evaluation and management services, similar to how VA providers are trained. The OIG determined VHA risked overpaying for evaluation and management services by about $19.9 million in FY 2020. The OIG made two recommendations to the under secretary for health related to (1) reviewing medical documentation for evaluation and management services billed by non-VA providers and then developing processes to act on the results of those reviews; and (2) ensuring non-VA providers receive current and future continuing education materials on proper medical documentation for evaluation and management services.

As I continue on my journey of leading the best life possible, a common theme seems to keep coming up time and again. EVOLUTION. More specifically, it seems to be that it’s the Evolutionary Mismatch which is at the root cause of all our physical health, mental health and environmental issues we suffer with today. Through technology, power, money and the desire to control everything (including life and death itself), we’ve stumbled so far off the beaten track that we have alien-like new world views that ignore the prior 2 million years of human evolution. As a theme that has and will continue to feature as part of AdapNation’s messaging, we explore this idea of Evolutionary Mismatch with Dr. Stephen Hussey in this episode. Stephen is an American Chiropractor, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Health Coach and Author. He’s got an interesting story of suffering with many illnesses and auto immune conditions including Type 1 Diabetes as a young child, and how through his realisation to return to a lifestyle that nature intended that his health drastically changed for the better. What changed Stephen’s health was the eureka moment of realising he had a huge Evolutionary Mismatch in his current environment, lifestyle and nutrition... If you want to develop your framework for understanding this key concept, want to know more about the value of proper movement as it relates to health, and would like some key takeaways on how to improve your wellbeing, then this episode is worth checking out. Oh, and if you like touching third rail ethically charged topics too… then you need to get involved! Here’s what we discuss: 1️⃣ Stephen's myriad of health struggles from 2 years old, and how lifestyle and traditional medicine failed him 2️⃣ How Stephen addressed most of his illness and allergies through changing his nutrition and lifestyle choices 3️⃣ His Four Penny Dropping Realisations - Natural Selection, Homo Genus Lineage, Slowness of Evolution & Inability to Adapt to Rapid Environmental Changes 4️⃣ Equal human capability? - With the pressures of natural selection, is it right to expect equal opportunity and capability for every human? 5️⃣ Our obsession with avoiding death at all costs - Are we attempting to assume a divine role in nature? Is it realistic to have so many net-consumers? 6️⃣ Are we Devolving as a species due to our nutrition and lifestyle choices? 7️⃣ The Evolutionary Movement Disconnect - Joint nutrition deficiencies, Joint toxic-induced degeneration, reduced mobility, improper and insufficient motion 8️⃣ Practical tips on how to better align with our innate needs for proper human movement and align with our evolutionary biological preference 9️⃣ The tainted rep & real value of Chiropractic Services - exploring why the practice has been previously dismissed, and what the real role and value of Chiropractics is. Much more than adjustments...
Chiropractic is one of the specialties that are required to have a contract in order to treat Medicare patients. If a chiropractor does not have a Medicare contract, they are required to refer Medicare patients to another chiropractor who does have a Medicare Contract. This is true even for chiropractic services that are non-covered by Medicare, such as maintenance care. This rule can be found in Chapter 15 of the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual in Section 40.4. It states; "the opt out law does not define "physician" to include chiropractors; therefore, they may not opt out of Medicare and provide services under private contract."There has been a confusing notion in the chiropractic profession that chiropractors can have the patient sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice and bill the patient without being a Medicare provider. This isn't true. The No Opt Out Rule for chiropractors in the Medicare program means a chiropractor can treat a Medicare patient either as a participating provider or a non-participating provider, but either way, the chiropractor has one of the two contracts with Medicare; a participating contract or a non-participating contract. A Medicare participating contract means the chiropractor has physically signed a contract with Medicare, agrees to abide by all the rules of the program, bills Medicare and accepts assignment from Medicare. A Medicare non-participating contract means the chiropractor has physically signed a contract with Medicare, agrees to abide by all the rules of the program, but has a choice whether or not to accept assignment. There is one more catch, a non-participating Medicare provider is still limited by how much the patient may be charged. There is a limiting fee schedule whereby the chiropractor may only bill the Medicare patient up to 115% of the allowed Medicare fee even if the chiropractor does not accept assignment and the patient receives payment directly from Medicare. There is a good handout published by CMS called "Misinformation on Chiropractic Services" that covers this rule and many others. For a copy of this handout, search for it at www.cms.gov and it will be readily available.
