A Seminar for Medical Office Personnel
Make sure your office is in Compliance with the OIG's Model Compliance Plan Guidance for Physician Practices.
This program is a must for any practice that bills Federal Health Plans such as Medicare, Medicaid, Champus or Tricare, as well as other third party payors or managed care plans.
The inspector General of the OIG has issued the Model Compliance Plan Guidance for Physician Practices. In this plan, the OIG states four specific and critical areas of compliance risk to the medical practice.
Number one on the list is proper coding and billing procedures. These areas of risk were determined by the OIG through investigations and audits related to physician practices.
Specific areas of concern related to your billing procedures and listed in the compliance plan will be covered in this fast moving program.
Take steps to protect your practice today.
Attend this information packed seminar to assist in evaluating your current billing procedures and protocols for all carriers including the "Federal Plans". This program will be an important step toward compliance, and in it you will learn how to lead your practice in the processes of audit, evaluation, and restructuring of your current insurance processing policies and procedures. Better policies will result in proper claim submission and follow up, minimize billing mistakes, and insure that payment is received in a timely manner. |
