      Add Payer to general flow – where payer (e.g. CMS) has specific requirements for the supplier to have documentation showing that the device or services is medically necessary and appropriate then the exchange of documentation to support this requirement is justified.  For other providers or specific services, the exchange of documentation may not be necessary.

    Description

      We would like you to make clear that the supplier needs documentation to get paid by the insurer. Medical necessity documentation is not inherently part of ordering a service – it is a payer requirement. We therefore suggest that you clearly outline process and show major players – ordering provider, rendering provider (supplier), and payer. If possible, would suggest also adding use cases to flesh out who is requesting the information and why.

      Existing Wording:

      "provides for the inclusion of appropriate documentation to support the medical necessity of the orders to facilitate documentation for the purpose of refining the order and supporting appropriate billing "

      Proposed Wording:

      None
