Summit Topics Include:
Are you a Target?
While it has never been harder to keep your reimbursements due to all the audits, it has also never been easier to know what the auditors will target. This topic focuses on how to identify not IF you are a target, but WHAT makes you a target.
An Insider’s Perspective
Ancient military genius Sun Tzu wrote sage advice still used today in both military and business endeavors. A major principal says, “Know yourself and your enemy. Know both, mostly win. Know one, sometimes win. Know neither, go home or die.” It helps to know what the auditors are thinking, how they operate and what their perspective is on all things RAC.
Reduce Risk and Increase Revenue
Anyone connected with healthcare finance today is doubtless having recurring nightmares about the risks that are sitting in their piles of claims, even from 3 years before now. Makes you afraid to fall asleep…
5 Secrets To Surviving an Audit
Best Practices are hard to identify without a wide view of what’s working and what’s not. This topic will cover reviews of successful Recovery Audit Contractor Teams around the country, including lessons learned and recommended practices from hospitals of all sizes.
Coding & ICD-10
Medical coding, once considered the #1 or #2 topic that kept CFOs awake at night, really hasn’t gotten any easier, and the onset of the move to ICD-10 is no relief. Find out here what some of the best and most successful transtion teams in the country are doing to address this perfect storm as it approaches.
CMS and OIG
CMS has made no bones about what it wants, and it’s not about medicine — it’s more recoupments to put billions of dollars back into the fund. And they’ve hired the RACs to now go after prepayment audits, too, obviously hoping that they can find just as much and more as the RACs are finding in the pay-and-chase world. Get the latest updates and advice on the newest CMS and OIG work plans and demonstration projects.
