FARGO, N.D. - Parenteral nutrition tops the list of error rates recently released by the Jurisdiction D DME MAC Noridian, AAHomecare reports. Codes B4185, B4193, B4197 and B4199 had a 100% error rate from TPE audits for the second quarter of 2019. Right behind parenteral nutrition was surgical dressings with an 86% error rate; hospital beds with a 72% error rate; and glucose monitors with a 65% error rate. AAHomecare did note that the error rates for enteral nutrition (20%) and manual wheelchairs (32%) did improve from the last quarter. Noridian started publishing error rates last October. AAHomecare has been advocating for Jurisdiction B and C DME MAC CGS to also publish quarterly error rates from TPE audits.
