Special Open Door Forum:
Suggested Electronic Clinical Template for Lower Limb Prostheses
Thursday, June 13, 2013
4:00pm – 5:00pm Eastern Time
Conference Call Only
The
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service will host a series of
Special Open Door Forum (ODF) calls to allow physicians, prosthetists,
and other interested parties to give feedback on the Suggested
Electronic Clinical Template for Lower Limb Prostheses for possible
nationwide use for Medicare.
In
order to enhance physician understanding of medical documentation
requirements to support orders for Lower Limb Prostheses, CMS is
exploring the development of an electronic clinical template that will
assist providers with data collection and medical documentation. These
templates may also facilitate the electronic submission of medical
documentation. While not intended to be a data entry form per se, the
template will describe the clinical elements that CMS believes would be
useful in supporting the documentation requirements for coverage of
Lower Limb Prostheses. CMS will work in collaboration with the DHHS
Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) and the
electronic Determination of Coverage (eDoC) workgroup which is focused
on developing the standards necessary for an electronic clinical
template.
You can find the proposed document by going to:
Comments on the document can be sent to eclinicaltemplate@cms.hhs.gov.

Physicians, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals Open Door Forum
Overview:
The Physicians, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals Open Door Forum (ODF) addresses the concerns and issues of Medicare and Medicaid physicians, non-physician practitioners, nurses, and other allied health care specialists. This diverse group of providers serves Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in almost all service settings, ranging from independent physician offices to specialized departments within larger facilities. The types of issues that come up during this forum are as varied as the providers who participate, but some frequent topics include the Physician Fee Schedule, Stark regulations, care plan oversight, payment and documentation rules, Provider Enrollment Chain Ownership System (PECOS), as well as the roles and responsibilities of different allied health professional staff under CMS regulations. Timely announcements and clarifications regarding important rulemaking, quality program initiatives, and other related areas are also included in the forums.******
