As a healthcare leader, the health information administrator is responsible for communicating compliance requirements and regulations both internally (providers) and externally (patients). This responsibility requires the manager to interpret compliance guidance documents, relate new or changing requirements to hospital-specific operations, create a implementation plan, and execute the plan.Go to the Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/Internet-Only-Manuals-IOMs-Items/CMS014961  There are four parts to the manual and numerous sections. Review the table of contents and pick an NCD to use for this assignment. It is recommended to choose a topic of interest to you or that you are knowledgeable about.For example, if you have a family member with diabetes, you may be interested in 100.14, Surgery for Diabetes. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION. Imagine that you have a role as a data analyst within a health system. You are tasked with preparing an educational session about the NCD because your facility has been receiving a higher-than-average number of denials for this service.
