Abstract:
The Formal Telephone Discussion Demonstration and Reopenings Process is authorized under Section 402(a)(1)(F), U.S.C.§ 1395-1(a)(1)(F)1, of the Social Security Amendments of 1967. Primary and secondary data are needed to understand the effectiveness of the Demonstration in improving suppliers’ understanding of claims denial during Level 2 of the appeals process and facilitating more accurate claim submission over time. Primary data are necessary to determine, from the perspective of participating suppliers, the quality of the formal telephone discussions, satisfaction with the formal telephone discussion process, and the effect of the formal telephone discussions on suppliers’ understanding of submitting accurate claims.
