Kessler Healthcare Consulting, LLC
I wrote the regulations your business has to comply with.
More than thirty-six years inside the federal government, most of it at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), including the Center for Program Integrity (CPI). My regulatory work is substantial and includes the hospital outpatient department prior authorization process, the ambulance regulations, and the prepayment and post-payment medical review regulations. I led CPI's efforts to obtain super intelligence (SI) to conduct medical record review and made improvements to the Medicare payment suspension process. Throughout my career, I also managed numerous contractors and wrote the policy governing their activities.
What I do
Consulting
Medicare and Medicaid coverage, payment, and program integrity. New product coding, coverage, reimbursement, and device pass-through approval. The No Surprises Act Independent Dispute Resolution framework. Litigation support to counsel in Medicare coverage matters.
Seiken.ai
Seiken.ai analyzes and compares policy across documents, under governance, for the organizations that write it, implement it, and follow it. It surfaces divergence, silence, contradiction, and vagueness across statutes, regulations, and sub-regulatory guidance.
The record
Eighteen Federal Register rulemaking documents between 2011 and 2021 carry provisions I wrote, proposed rules and final rules. See the full list of Federal Register publications.
