Following the Medicare Path, CGS is proud to
continue its comprehensive program offerings for State O&P
Associations in 2012. Each program is designed with two basic functions
in mind; to provide wide-ranging topical education, and to give
attendees the opportunity to ask questions about Medicare policy. CGS
Provider Outreach representative, Zita Upchurch, has a rich history of
very high attendee satisfaction and this year’s goal will be no
different. Presentations will include a variety of policies, recent
Medicare changes, proper documentation concepts, and much more.

regarding coding guidelines, coding requirements and changes coming to
the industry.

Biography-
CGS provides a variety of services for Medicare beneficiaries, health
care providers and medical equipment suppliers in 33 states supporting
the needs of over 16 million Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. As a
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) contractor with Medicare our goal is to
efficiently process claims from DME suppliers operating in the states of
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the U. S. Virgin Islands.
As one of the 1,000 employees with CGS Administrators, Zita Upchurch
works with Medicare suppliers throughout the jurisdiction and state
associations sharing her knowledge of O&P combined with program
billing and documentation requirements. Since her arrival, CGS has been a
leader among the DME MAC contractors in O&P education,
participation in state association meetings and interest in O&P
issues. Prior to joining the CGS team in 2009, Zita spent 20 years in
the orthotic and prosthetic industry, a passion she shares with O&P
Medicare providers now.
Zita will be the lead representative for the “New Orthotic and
Prosthetic Provider Outreach and Education Advisory Group”. With the
increased focus by CMS, the OIG, CERT, and the DME MACs on O&P, Zita
understood the need for a group to provide feedback to the contractors
on issues unique to this field.
