Overview:
It’s no longer IF your practice will be audited, it’s WHEN. Understanding what auditors are targeting is the first step toward clean audit results. Your practice can’t afford to miss this 3-hour/6-CEU workshop teaching what currently puts your practice at a higher risk for RAC audits and general recovery audits as well as techniques for winning when you are audited.
The material in this workshop covers not only CERT and commercial audit recoveries, but the federal government’s new Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program, which is expected to recover another $18 billion in 2009 (that's an average of $22,500 for every physician in the United States).
This workshop is a "must attend" for physicians, administrators, and coders who need to be on top of their trade in today’s environment of active payer audits.
This Workshop Will Help You:
- Achieve favorable audit results from private and government payers
- Avoid audit-triggering mistakes: How providers are selected for an audit
- Educate Physicians & Staff: Have the right 15-minute coder-to-physician compliance conversation
- Be compliant as you protect your bottom line
- File an appeal if you are audited
- Identify and use the rights of your practice
- Take the right steps if auditors ask for dollars back
- Defend your coding if you feel auditors have made an error
