Are you prepared for a Medicare Audit?
Think you need a Compliance Program?
If you are receiving money from the government as a result of services you
have rendered, the HHS-OIG and DOJ expect that you will have a functioning
compliance program in place.1
Violations of Medicare and Medicaid regulations can result in:
• Substantial fines and repayments
• Negative publicity
• Potential criminal charges
• Loss of Medicare provider number
Futhermore, a three-page compliance plan, quickly written and filed away
somewhere, will not satisfy the government. In fact, an inactive compliance
plan is even worse than not having one at all. 1
HCCS will assist your organization in the development and implementation of
a Customized Compliance Program. We have over 30 years of O & P experience
and understand the challenges of doing business in today's health care
environment.
Contact us so that you can, once again, concentrate on caring for your
patients.
