Compliance Audit

A recent explosion in the number of allegations of fraudulent billing practices leveled against health care institutions is forcing facilities to take a closer look at their operations. It looks as if the government is waging war on health care, and no one in the industry is safe. The question is no longer If you will be audited; it's When.

• What is our level of compliance?
• What are our biggest non-compliance issues?
• What kind of plan do we have in place to ensure compliance in the future?

In order to answer these questions, you need a detailed probe into your facility's billing operations, identifying areas requiring correction. This should be done by someone who can take the same approach to a compliance audit as the federal investigators: fervent determination to expose any incorrect billing practice.
