Product Description

Are You Prepared Against Increased Audits ? OIG has heightened scrutiny, and we all need to pull up our socks to ensure compliance !!

The OIG released a much awaited report on Coding Trends, for  Medicare E/M Services on 19th May2012. This report is the first in a series of evaluation of E/M services. Subsequent evaluations will determine the appropriateness of Medicare payments for E/M services, and the extent of documentation vulnerabilities in E/M services. So you have to decide if you are well prepared for increased audit activities.

Join this informative audio conference presented by our expert speaker Elin Baklid-Kunz, MBA, CPC, CCS, where Elin will review the latest audit issues, including the 2012 OIG Work Plan for Physicians and the hot topics every physician office need to know. Also, last year HHS & CMS announced new technology to fight Medicare Fraud, enabling the government's ability to collect and analyze information rather than evaluating one claim at a time.
