RAC for Providers: Hospitals and Physicians as Partners in Reducing Risk
|
Format: Audio/video file (.wmv) The Recovery Audit Contractor program’s mission is to reduce Medicare improper payments through efficiently detecting and collecting overpayments, identifying underpayments and implementing actions to prevent further improper payments. Since hospitals will be severely impacted if medical necessity is not clearly documented, a solid partnership with physicians and nurses is essential to ensure continual documentation of why the patient is in a bed. Maintaining detailed patient records that document the severity of the patient’s illness and the treatment action plan is critical. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from nationally recognized RAC expert Day Egusquiza, as she addresses specific provider vulnerabilities as part of the physician/hospital partnership and the provider’s individual practice. Relevant updates and case examples of RAC activity are presented in this recording of a webinar held on July 8, 2010.
