Guidelines And Requirements Are Always Changing
If your staff is feeling confused by the latest shifts in Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare requirements, they are not the only ones. These are always changing, and right now, government accountability is a big topic of public conversation. So, more than ever, you want to be sure that you are up to date with your information.
Keep in mind the UPIC federal contractors are supposed to be auditing Medicaid providers for potential fraud and abuse. They haven’t been, but that’s about to change. A phrase comes to mind: “Buckle up, Buttercup,” as the activity in the medical side has seen the application of policy to be inconsistent or inaccurate. You need an organized well labeled packet, as I am hearing they do not look at records very carefully.
Your team also might require compliance training continuing education credits. When they need a refresher, we’re here to help. We understand the rules, as well as how they are evolving. That helps us to give your team information that they can actually use.
Are You Performing Exclusion Database Checks?
One of the most important parts of staying compliant is doing what you need to do, and that includes running monthly exclusion database checks. These help you to crosscheck available exclusion lists, making sure that you are only working with quality, reputable individuals and organizations. And when you fail to perform them on the right schedule, it could cause some serious trouble for your practice.
If you have a billing company, check the owner and business via a criminal background check as sometimes these don’t show on OIG Sanctions. Not all businesses are reputable, which is unfortunate and sad honestly. We can assist in directing you for criminal background checks for third party businesses.
Monthly exclusion database checks are required by law, and there are penalties for ignoring them. The fines for this offense range up to $10,000 per day, so they are an essential part of doing business as a healthcare provider in the US. Make sure that you have the tools that you need to stay on top of your needs; if you need help, reach out to our office.
