Medical Facility Hvac Services In Florida

Florida Air Conditioning Services Companies and Medical Facility HVAC
Unlike an HVAC design for your home or a regular business, medical air conditioning, HVAC design and repairs come with their own unique challenges. Facility HVAC design in a hospital setting must provide exceptional antiseptic ventilation along with heating and cooling within several vastly different environments.
Because a hospital provides services from radiology and surgery to out-patient care and food services the medical air conditioning services company must be able to attend to each individual circumstance.
Examples of these varying circumstances include regulating the temperature in order to cultivate a sample in a lab to maintaining ideal conditions during open heart surgery.
Administrative offices, patient rooms and food preparation areas also have different needs, making the decision to hire a specific Florida air conditioning and medical facility HVAC specialist a challenge.
When it comes to identifying the perfect air conditioning services company with an expert track record, hospital facility managers must conduct due diligence and find an expert in the medical air conditioning field.
Understanding Medical Air Conditioning Needs
Understanding the unique requirements of your medical air conditioning system means that you have to examine the facility HVAC system as a whole. Each area works in conjunction with the next; however each section may have different requirements.
Additionally, hospital facilities managers must consider budget and costs before hiring a medical air conditioning services company. Several key factors should take priority when determining facility HVAC design and repair:
Aesthetic qualitiesthe retrofitted system should flow with the current design
Safety and securitythe system must be tamper and theft proof
Accessible to all staff and patientsin line with Americans with Disability Act and Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards
Sustainabilityincreasing efficiencies while providing a green solution
Choosing a Medical Facility HVAC Team
Finding the right medical facility HVAC team isnt like choosing just any air conditioning company. Because of the unique set of challenges posed in a medical environment, finding an expert in the field is imperative in order for a successful installation or repair.
One way to determine if the air conditioning services company is an expert in the medical field is to visit previous clients. Ask the facility manager questions about not only the work but the technicians knowledge, professionalism and job timeliness.
Also, find a company that responds promptly to emergency calls, has certified technicians and an established track record of service to the medical field.

Outpatient Detox, Florida BLue

There is an ongoing issue with Florida Blue where they will not pay for outpatient detox. It is a covered service by their home plan and it processes as biller error, but in actuality its due to Florida Blue assigning $ 0 on the fee schedule. There is no issue for Blue card plans in which the home plan prices, just when the local prices. Is there an appeal we can do? We bill S9475 under rev code 0944 or 0955.

Florida Medicare trigger point injection for low back pain

One of the ortho’s in my group has been submitting charges for low back pain (M54.2) with cpt code 20552 for injection of trigger point. There is literally a picture of a back under code 20552 in the CPT code book with a line pointing to the low back which says "injection site"… however, Medicare and BCBS are denying the claims for improper diagnosis. A coder from another office suggested I use code 20610 but the physician is injecting a trigger point (muscle) NOT a joint.. Does anyone have any suggestion or advice??

THANKS!
