About the Event

This session will take hospice agencies through the winding road of Medicare scrutiny. While billing the Medicare benefit and getting paid is relatively easy, there is always a risk of being reviewed. Don’t be caught in the comfortable position of believing that everything is satisfactory. Look at how to avoid denials before they happen. Participants will be able to define Targeted Probe & Educate (TPE) and outline the structure of how to respond to every level of medical review, including UPIC, RA, and SMRC. The webinar will also examine PEPPER and other data analysis that agencies need to review to ensure that medical review risk is limited. Attendees will walk away feeling confident that their documentation is truly accurate and can withstand audit scrutiny.
