Keeping Your Practice Safe from Hidden Compliance Risks

Numerous health care organisations may not understand that they can be billing Medicare via excluded providers, meaning that ongoing Sanction Checks are the best way to ensure you can identify these potential issues before they develop into costly fines. It’s not enough to simply check during hiring; it is essential that you have ongoing monitoring in place to ensure continued compliance. The same holds true for industry representatives; knowing the Open Payments CMS requirements will help ensure you keep track of consulting fees and meals appropriately. Both steps provide an easy way to protect your practice from audits, while also providing your practice with an ethical relationship with the federal government, all without adding unnecessary stress.
