OIG reports in 2018 and 2019 identified payment and quality-related problems in hospices. As a result, audits and medical reviews increased, impacting many hospice agencies. As we transition from a Public Health Emergency, it is anticipated that this trend of increased audits will rise even more for both hospice and home health.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Define fraud and abuse and the different types of government audits
  • Explain agency responsibilities, critical timelines, and the ADR process, also known as Targeted Probe and Educate (TPE)
  • Identify critical compliance areas to minimize audits and ADRs (TPE)
  • Identify when an agency should appeal a denial

WEBINAR DETAILS

This webinar will review the FAQs related to audits and the medical review process. It will explain the process, agency responsibilities, and where agencies should focus. Discover how to minimize denials and partial denials to targets, probes, and audits. Learn the proper way to submit documentation and the timeline to follow. Participants will also review sample cover letters and the presenter will address when to appeal, when not to appeal, and when to utilize outside resources to increase your agency’s opportunity for a favorable outcome.
