Compliance Issues in
Small Physician Practices
Small physician practices often become
®
so
caught
up Management
in the day-to-day
functions
Medical
Group
Association
that they do not have the
time - or the
Louisiana
resources - to guard against compliance
issues. Beyond the coding issues are
a whole range of other compliance
considerations such as HIPAA, Stark and
Anti-Kickback, Exclusions. This session
covers common areas that small physician
practices may neglect and suggests ways
in which the practice can protect itself.
Designing and Implementing a
Physician Auditing Program
Physician practices often know they
need to audit but just don't know
where to start. This session focuses on
understanding and communicating the
need for auditing in physician practices
- not just coding and billing but also
HIPAA, exclusions, physician relationships,
employment policies, and more. We will
share tools for establishing policies and
procedure for auditing and monitoring.
We will focus on tips for communicating
audit results and effecting change.
