Nurse Educator/Review Coordinator

The Nurse Educator/Review Coordinator’s primary role is to facilitate provider education related to the claim reviews performed under Task Order 3 for the BFCC-QIO contract. The education provided will be dependent on the outcome of the reviews and may involve the application of Medicare policy, ICD-10-CM/PCS coding rules, DRG assignment, medical necessity, or other related claim review topics. The education may be provided to a single facility related to facility findings, or it may be at a more general level directed at a wider audience and encompass a wider variety of review findings. The ultimate goal of the education is to work toward decreasing Medicare’s paid claims error rate.
