ZapMed News - May 2002
ZapCode now suports both versions of the HCFA E/M Guidelines!
* New ZapCode version 3.0 now can calculate E/M codes using either the 1997 or 1995 version of the HCFA Evaluation
and Management Guidelines!
When we first programmed ZapCode, the new 1997 version of the HCFA Guidelines was just out and we thought it would
be the standard rule. At the time, they were predicting another newer version of the Guidelines which would address
everyone' "issues" with the guidelines. HCFA made a "temporary" rule that you could use either
the 1995 or the 1997 version of the rules. Several new drafts have been circulated and commented on but we still
don't have a newer version of the rules and we still can use either the 1997 or the 1995 version.
Since this "temporary" situation looks likely to persist (everyone looks to be busy with HIPAA), we've
added the option to use the 1995 version of the HCFA rules or the 1997 version.
It's easy to switch back and forth between the two. The primary difference is in the examination which has more
flexibility under the 1995 rules.
Many people like the 1995 version because of this flexibility. However, you should keep in mind that whichever
version of the rules you use, you still must have complete documentation of the patient encounter.
As usual, this is a FREE upgrade for all registered users.

ZapMed News - March 2002
* New ZapBill version 3.2 with New Patient Indexes for faster patient selection!
Some of you have been saving large numbers of patients in ZapBill and have noticed that the patient selector and
rounds screens slow down as the number of patients increases. This was because we sorted the lists every time you
viewed the screen.
New in version 3.2 we've added full time indexes instead of sorting the files so you won't have any delay in selecting
patients from the patient list or rounds list.
This is another good reason to install this latest FREE upgrade.
If you didn't upgrade in December to our ICD key word index, you now have two good reasons for upgrading!
Recent enhancements:
* ZapBill v3.1 ICD Key Word Index for FAST, Accurate, Complete ICD code searching *
* New ZapICD v2.0 Released with Key Word Index! *
* New 2002 ICD9 code set released! *
To upgrade to the new version, download the program from our web site:

New release of Anesthesia version 3.1c
We've added the ability to set the number of minutes you use to define a time unit
of service. Previously, the number of minutes was fixed at 15 minutes per unit. However, some people bill in 10
minute increments and they can now set this on the preferences screen.
We also have added the nice Palm time selector routine to make it easier to choose
the start and stop times for anesthesia procedures.

ZapMed News - December 2001
* New ZapBill version 3.1 with ICD Key Word Index for FAST, Accurate, Complete ICD code searching *
* New ZapICD v2.0 Released with Key Word Index! *
* New 2002 ICD9 code set released! *
Our ICD Code search in both our ZapBill Charge Capture program and our standalone ZapICD code search program has
been updated to include a comprehensive ICD key word index.
Proper ICD codes are taking on more importance since they are often used to determine reimbursement.
Our old ICD search implemented the "Disease Category" approach to looking up the proper ICD code. This
is equivalent to Volume I of the ICD-9-CM book published by HHS. It's easy to look up the Major Disease Category,
choose the proper Sub-Category, view the three digit codes, then zero in on the most specific fourth or fifth digit
code.
However, many people want to search by a key word index which is the same as Volume II of the ICD-9-CM publication.
The old ZapICD and ZapBill had a key word search but this was slow and missed many words due to the abbreviations
and truncations in the descriptions.
After much effort we have produced a key word index that should help you find that elusive perfect ICD code. We've
indexed over 7,000 key word ICD terms in this new file.
We've updated the ZapBill and ZapICD programs to use this new index file and it is fast. You'll be able to find
all of the ICD codes that refer to key words from "Abdomen" to "Zygomatic".
A word about memory:
(The new index file does take up 0.5 Megs of memory on your Palm. Even with the larger memory capacity Palms, we
realize that this is a lot. In the future will will support add-in memory cards so that you can move both the ICD
description file and the index file out our your main memory. You don't have to use the new key word index file
if you don't have room for it. The new version will behave the same as the old when you don't install the index
file.)
To upgrade to the new version, download the program from our web site:
www.zapmed.com
We recommend that you install the new Zicd.pdb ICD code file since we've updated this to the latest 2002 revision.
ZapBill users can get this new file in the ZapData.zip file which you can download from the web site Support page.
This is a FREE upgrade for all registered users.

Three Aspects of the Billing Process Create Compliance Risks for Physicians
Physician practices typically have problems related to a convergence of three crucial aspects of billing compliance:
charge entry, coding and documentation, says Jim Stroud, a consultant with the Alabama firm of Warren, Averett,
Kimbrough & Marino.
"All of this stuff is a giant mystery to physicians," Stroud says. "That area is a huge black hole
and they don't understand what happens in there. We hear physicians tell us 'I feel I am working so much harder
and making so much less,' and it's partly because reimbursement rates
are down and partly because of the billing process." Stroud describes four obstacles to accurate physician
billing and better compliance:
(1) Inadequate staffing/training. Physicians typically put people in charge of billing who are not qualified to
make the complex translations of medical care into numerical language that payers provide. "If you have a
person who is not a good linguist, you have trouble" - either in overpayments or false claims fines or underpayments
and revenue shortfalls, Stroud says.
Physicians tend to underpay the people who perform the crucial function of turning their services into revenue,
and then don't invest in training them.
(2) Overdelegating. Physicians rely blindly on office staff to handle a complex billing process with little oversight,
yet the physician is the one who will be responsible if
false claims are submitted. Physicians "place in one person's hand all coding decisions and take themselves
out of the loop. They figure 'I should just treat patients and mark diagnosis codes and whatever is entered on
the claim is not my problem,'" Stroud says.
But it's the physicians whose provider number is on the line and who will be the one facing fines and jail time.
(3) Sending the wrong messages. Physicians telegraph to billers to do whatever it takes to keep claims clean, which
prompts billers to underbill in an attempt to stay off auditor radar screens. Billing clerks figure if they undercode
or submit a code that doesn't require a paper claim, the practice will avoid scrutiny, while if they bill at a
higher level or tack on a modifier or bill both surgical procedures performed at the same time, the carrier will
ask questions or request more documentation. So they leave things off, "but at a terrible cost to the practice,"
Stroud says. Plus, Medicare carriers take note of practices that fall off the charts in terms of their billing
for the lowest payment codes, so undercoding can attract its
own kind of scrutiny.
(4) Mistakenly seeking billing consistency. "I have seen physicians make the terrible mistake of pursuing
the goal of consistency in the medical group," he says. "It's a flawed goal."
Physicians communicate to billing clerks to assign the same CPT codes for every patient seen by any doctor with
a given diagnosis. "But patients are different and physicians practice differently and document differently,"
so consistent CPT selections are a mistake - and also don't help keep practices out of auditors' paths. Stroud
says he conducted a coding dispersion analysis at one
practice for all evaluation and management codes, and found that for all category of coding selections,
CPT assignments were just about identical. "All the physicians were remarkable similar in how often
they billed a certain code, such as 99211 or 99212. Their volumes might have been a little different, but the pattern
of dispersion among the different codes was identical," he says. The reason: a billing person took each diagnosis
code and slapped a certain CPT code on there regardless of the services provided and documented. That spells big
trouble in terms of compliance.
Ways to Improve Physician Billing Compliance
Here are five suggestions for cleaning up physician billing problems:
(1) Invest in education for billing clerks. Summers believes physicians should get some training themselves since
it's their money and billing number at stake. With a little knowledge, physicians can ask billing clerks questions
like this: If I do a procedure and office visit at the same time, do you know how to bill this? Should it be a
25 modifier? If a patient comes in for bronchitis but
also has a wart and I use liquid nitrogen, how do I get paid for both? What's the appropriate modifier? "Doctors
need to spend more time hiring billing staff and training billing staff and making sure they have the proper resources,"
Summers says. "You'd be surprised how many
offices are using the 1995 CPT code book."
(2) Assign one physician to play a role in the billing process. For example, the physician could review coding
on a test basis, Stroud says. One of his practice-clients pulls 10 charts for every physician every month and the
physicians take turns reviewing the translation of services and documentation to coding assignment and suggest
improvements.
(3) Get rid of the mindset that undercoding is a good strategy. It probably won't protect you and just deprives
physicians of money to which they are entitled. Stroud had one physician-client who saw a huge volume of patients
in his specialty but billed about 90% of them at 99212 - a low-level service - when they clearly could have been
billed as 99213 and 99214. The physician just didn't
want to bother with the documentation required to bill the higher level of service. Not only is that a Medicare
violation, the physician was losing upwards of $90,000 in revenue every year.
Stroud said the physician was better off hiring a coder or nurse to shadow him and take down the documentation.
(4) Improve communication. Doctors tend to deal only with their nurses, but they need to meet with coders and other
back-office staff to improve billing and compliance. Stroud suggests routine lunch meetings to talk about coding
and documentation issues.
(5) Work denied claims. Billing clerks can recover their entire salaries working through and resubmitting denied
claims, which also gives practices a window into their systemic compliance mistakes so they can fix them.
Fixing an Existing Nightmare
Attorneys suggest that physicians immediately get a lawyer involved to protect the clean-up process.
The lawyer should be the one to hire a consultant to do the actual work involved in wading through old bills, says
attorney Paul DeMuro. The attorney also can help figure out the legal problems inherent in the neglectful billing.
Did the physician direct the billing clerk to play reimbursement games, or just stick his or her head in the sand?
Or was it just a case of an ignorant, untrained or
overworked billing clerk?
"The real issue is whether the practice is at risk of reckless disregard," which can mean false claims
were submitted, says attorney Alice Gosfield. And if there's a pattern of abusive billing - such as always assigning
an evaluation and management code that's two levels higher than it should have
been to charging for routine annual checkups under an E/M code - you need to consider a voluntary disclosure,"
Gosfield says.
Then figure out what you can bill legitimately, even if it's on the old side. Medicare gives you a year to bill
for services, DeMuro says.

ZapMed News - November 2001
* New ZapBill v3.0 Released! *
We've been busy this summer adding new features suggested by our doctors. We now have an extremely capable Palm
OS charge capture program that gives you lots of flexibility in communicating with your office and colleagues.
* New Archive Log!
The major enhancement in version 3.0 is the ability to keep an archive log of all of your patients.
If you have patients that come back frequently or want to keep a track of the patients you've seen (along with
their diagnoses and procedure codes, you now have the option of keeping patients in your archive list in ZapBill.
When that patient returns, all you need to do is "activate" that patient and they will be transferred
to your active patient file with their diagnoses and history of procedure codes.
This is also useful if you want to refer back to patients that you have seen who are no longer on your active service.
We've also made the program easier to use and more capable.
- Reorganized the menus for a simpler interface
- Improved patient information screen lists (CC, Dr, RefDr, Location) to quickly jump to the closest match when
you
enter text
- Improve the code search display speed
- You can now import new patient lists as well as rounds lists from the MemoPad. This gives you another option
to interface with your office to speed your work.
- You can choose whether or not to backup your library and patient information files during hotsync. This will
speed the hotsync process when you don't need to backup your library files. In addition, you can back up your patient
files automatically to your desktop during every hotsync.
----
** Anesthesia Version **
We've also updated the Anesthesia version 3.0 with these same enhancements and it is available on the web site.

ZapBill v2.2 Released
Enhanced charge capture, rounding, and group communication capabilities!
We've just finished a major enhancement cycle for ZapBill and it's now developed to
the point where it's a very capable charge capture and patient communication program meeting the needs of all practice
settings.
Our recent enhancements add infrared beaming and enhanced desktop communication capabilities.
Palm devices are small, portable. This environment demands communication abilities. Medical care is a team effort
and we've added infrared beaming so you can share patient information with your colleages.
We've also enhanced the communication options with desktop systems by adding a "tab
delimited" format for desktop synchronization. This format is the universal data exchange standard and lets
you easily send information to spreadsheets such as Excel and databases such as Access.
Our diagnosis and procedure code lookup capabilities have been enhanced. You can now
easily search in both the QuickPick lists and the full code libraries.
This is a FREE update to all registered users.
Download the new version from our web site: www.zapmed.com
(If you're updating, you only need to install the ZapBill.prc file.)
As always, we've updated the manual with complete descriptions of the new features so take a peek at the new manual.
We'll be enhancing our ZapCode HCFA Evaluation and Management Coder next with several
good suggestions we've received. If you have comments or suggestions for improving this program, let us know now

Note on upgrading to ZapBill v2.1
Some people who had a early beta of ZapBill version 2.0 and are now upgrading to version 2.1 are experiencing crashes/soft
reset when they access the patient list.
This is due to the fact that we changed the data structure of the patient list.
The offending file is "Zbilln".
To fix the problem, you need to delete this file (using ZarfCatalog or a similar utility) or delete and reinstall
the entire ZapBill application.
Either way, you will need to re-enter your registration code. If you don't have it handy, send an email request
and we'll send it to you.
We're sorry for any problems this has caused.

"Palm handheld medical solutions you can use today... designed for the future."
- New Version ZapBill Charge Capture (v2.1)
- Patient Rounding Management
- BEAMING!
- QuickPick ICD list
- Patient note field
Coming quickly on the heels of version 2.0 which added Patient Rounding Lists, we have
just released ZapBill version 2.1 which lets you beam your patient round list to your colleagues!
Now when you hand over patients, you can hand over their demographic, diagnosis, charge
history, and any reminder notes you have made... and all you need to do is beam the information to your colleague!
We've also added a patient note field which you can use for reminders, notes to your
colleagues, or notes to your staff.
Version 2.1 also finishes the implementation of QuickPick lists!
Many of you like the QuickPick Procedure Code list which lets you put your most commonly used procedure codes on
a short list that pops up first.
We had always intended that you could do the same thing with ICD lists (and we even let you add ICD codes to your
QuickPicd ICD list). However, you couldn't actually _use_ the QuickPick ICD list... until now!
(Those of you who took the time to enter ICD codes in the QuickPick ICD list in earlier versions will find that
the list will magically appear when you install this new version. It was there all the time... you just couldn't
see it.)
Now that you have both procedure codes and diagnosis codes in QuickPick lists, you
have a portable superbill as well as access to complete procedure and diagnosis code lists.
You can download the updated ZapBill version 2.1 from our web site:
www.zapmed.com
This is a FREE upgrade for all registered users!
As always, read the updated manual so you'll understand thes wonderful new features.
Patient Rounding Management!
Now we keep a rounding list of your recurring patients and display them by location
so you can easily keep track of your daily rounds. Each patient can have an admit date to remind you of length
of stay.
ZapBill saves your recurring patients and resets their charges so you're ready for the next day.
The rounding list tells you the patients where you have entered charges so you won't miss any.
The rounding list is sorted by location (Facility and room number) which makes it easy to find them and organize
your rounds.
All registered users will be eligible for upgrades to the new versions at no cost.
Registration information is available on the web site at: www.zapmed.com
Just go to the Buy/Register page for complete prices and information.
Just a reminder:
The demo version of ZapBill only has a partial set of codes.
You'll most likely want to have one of the more complete code sets that we have available to download.
All of the code sets are in the file ZapData.zip which is available on the web site Support page.
We have complete code sets and specialty specific code sets.
There is no additional charge for the ZapData code sets.

ZapCode adds Coding Tips!
We've added a great new feature to the ZapCode program... Coding Tips.
We all know that the HCFA E&M coding rules are complex... that's why we developed ZapCode. The rules make it
difficult to just know the "gestalt" of a patient's billing level. You have to go through the process
of ticking off the actual elements of the exam you've performed.
Even after you do that, you may have the question: "Why doesn't this exam qualify
for a higher service level?"
We have the answer!
Just tap the Coding Tip icon and ZapCode will explain the rules and what is required for the next level of service.
There are coding tips for each exam component and for the summary screen.
Coding Tips will improve your billing and your exams by letting you understand the rules better. You'll know just
what you need to do to justify the level of service.
ZapCode version 2.5 with Coding Tips is available on the web site www.zapmed.com
The upgrade is free to all registered users. (Just download the ZapCode.zip file and install the new ZapCode.prc)
A demo of the new version is available on the web site.
New Pricing!
We continually improve the functionality of our software to help you run your practice.
Our goal is to make these programs easy to use and full featured. Palm software is the epitome of simplicity and
