Coding
& Reimbursement The complexity of our nation’s health care system in general, and Medicare in particular, create a true challenge for physicians and their office staffs. One of NAMDRC’s key strengths is to offer assistance on a myriad of coding, coverage and payment issues. In fact, NAMDRC members indicate that their #1 reason for belonging to and continuing membership in the Association is its voice before regulatory agencies and legislators. That effective voice is translated into providing members with timely information, identifying important Federal Register announcements, pertinent statements and notices by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers, and local medical review policies Senate Finance Committee releases its proposal for health care reform and plans to begin amending the proposal September 21st.
