CMS has instituted a new Targeted Probe and Educate (TPE) program to help providers and suppliers reduce claim denials and appeals through one-on-one education.
Most providers will never need TPE. The process is only used with those who have high denial rates or unusual billing practices. If you are chosen for the program, the goal is to help you quickly improve. Often, simple errors – like missing a signature – are to blame. The process is designed to identify common errors in your submissions and help you correct them.
