Admissions for acute coronary syndrome are more than 1.5 million every year and are still rising in hospitals. Obviously, this means more opportunities for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) usage. IABP usage carries a great deal of risk, and many lawsuits have emerged because an IABP was not properly set up or cared for, resulting in injury and/or death. The newer IABPs are automated, but providers tend to overly rely on the machines and the numbers while overlooking or being careless about the basic mechanics and the need to ensure proper timing.

You do not have to spend as much time puzzling over EOBs. If you can design a process that stops the most common denials, you will have more time to appeal the denials based on more unusual reasons.
The points that doctors must be aware of regarding new coding guidelines are:
1. Uncover software glitches that are triggering denials
2. Check for coding mistakes.
3. Check whether services provided are medically necessary.
4. Check whether Medicare coverage is available.
