WEBINAR DETAILS

The healthcare industry is experiencing decreased acute care and increased referrals and CMS expenditures for hospice programs. Increased expenditures bring additional oversight of the post-acute care industry and more ADR/TPE audits. Avoid the scrutiny with industry-standard best practices and identify areas of oversight risk. Defining and reviewing the Additional Document Request and Targeted Probe & Educate process is a good place to start.

This webinar will teach you to identify the different types of government audits and oversight and determine whether to appeal a denied government claim. You’ll study the steps required to effectively submit documentation and win an appeal. Learn which data points are important, what can trigger additional oversight, and common reasons for claim denial. Discover how to implement best practices now to successfully maneuver through the process and avoid future denials.

Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
