Key Elements • Provider File Key Elements • Name (last, first, middle initial) • Provider flag • Provider specialty code • Incorrect or null = No Money! • Location (= MEPRS) • Identification, (SSN, license, or DEA #) • Forthcoming National Provider Identification (NPI)
Common Errors • Kinks in the chain • Provider specialty codes 500-518 & above 910 • 500-516 no longer available but may exist in records • Improper or incomplete naming conventions • Providers assigned to wrong location • Duplicate providers
Common Errors • Other contributing factors • No formal guidance • No accountability/ownership • No functional experts • No training/continuity • Shared CHCS platforms • Differing viewpoints & business practices
Touch-Points • Systems impacted • Third Party Outpatient Collection System (TPOCS) • Improper specialty code = No money • National Enrollment Database (NED) • Patient enrollments contain wrong specialty code • Pharmacy Data Transaction Service (PDTS) • Prescriptions filled with no DEA for provider • Medical Expense & Performance Reporting System (MEPRS) • Wrong workload credit
Touch-Points • Where are the money and workload? • Lost/delayed Third Party Collection (TPC) claims • Time to correct errors • Perspective Payment System (PPS) • Credit for medical services provided • Lost Relative Value Unit (RVU) credit • Business plans
Practical Options • Damage control • Restrict functional access • Who inputs new providers files? • Typically credentials, ancillary services, and systems • Access control (restrict use of Provider Specialty Codes) • Provide training • Medical group instruction/process ownership • CHCS reports • Who has specific functional access (minimize)? • All active providers in CHCS • New provider added (user-defined date range) • Correct discrepancies regularly

Y [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] If adding a new provider, users should be aware the provider could already be in the system, use of standard naming conventions can help prevent duplicate files. This includes using additional punctuation and professional titles in the name. CHCS is case sensitive and will not distinguish the difference between: SMITH,JOHN J SMITH, JOHN J SMITH,JOHN J MD SMITH,JOHN J. The above examples can cause duplicate entries. Only the first is correct!
Adding New Providers After being prompted are you adding, “PROVIDER,NEW” and the technician Answers Y for yes, another question is prompted, “Is ‘PROVIDER,NEW’ an outside Provider?” [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] Are you adding ‘PROVIDER,NEW' as a new PROVIDER? Y Is ‘PROVIDER,NEW' an outside Provider? NO//Yes [------------------------------------------------------------------------------] For ancillary services personnel; Pharmacy, Laboratory, and Radiology should always answer “Yes” to outside Provider, only credentials and systems personnel add internal providers.
