Read Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why Should You Attend:

Do you know someone who has undergone a payer audit? If so, you already know that the experience is difficult and potentially expensive. This session will review common situations that may cause the provider to be scrutinized for erroneous billing, weak coding and ambiguous documentation that is lacking in expected details.

Payer audits are on the rise, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers. Regardless of whether violations are found, audits are time consuming, disruptive, and expensive. The session will also emphasize how the sophistication of claims processing edits, provider profiling, and questionable billing patterns all contribute to identification of unusual coding and billing. When documentation does not support the codes billed, providers are often liable for recovery of funds and possible penalties.

Regardless of whether there are findings of erroneous payments, the process is time consuming and disruptive. Although it is generally accepted that having a compliance plan and compliance officer in place, there may still be areas of weaknesses that need to be identified. Gain some insight about those areas that frequently surface during payer audits.
