He has reviewed thousands of claims and has been involved in numerous audits as both the expert for the plaintiff and the defendant. |
| This seminar alerts the chiropractor to the audit processes that are taking place in health care today. Often the audits turn into fines, sanctions, financial liability, and sometimes, criminal prosecution. The federal government, as part of the HIPAA law, extended some of the Federal protections for Federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, to the private sector. The HIPAA law also developed a self auditing process for providers to use to insure compliance with various programs, thus mitigating this potential liability. Often unwittingly, and usually due to misinformation, many providers become non-compliant, and frequently do not discover this until an outside audit is done. By this time, it is too late and the provider is liable. The purpose of this seminar is to break down this audit process to a simplified form, following the federal program, and adding additional points to insure a practice is in compliance with Federal, State and Third Party Payer guidelines. This seminar explains the audit process, what is included, specifically how it is done, the tools used by auditors, and highlights typical areas of problem for the provider. |
