The success of this national program will depend largely upon key factors such as communications, compliance, data compilation, reporting and billing (involving both the CMS List Bill and payment scheduled for providers). CSS has developed software and new Auto Enroller functionality to help CCTP agencies track patients and document required interviews and other data. CSS?s List Bill functionality uploads patient information to enable participating facilities to receive reimbursement for their services from Medicare.

CSS?s software provides a registry function that assigns all data into discrete, queriable fields. The software provides secure methods of storing and tracking patient data, thus avoiding any potential HIPAA violations.
