QUESTIONS / COMPLIANCE
Are my processes compliant?
Your practice runs on daily habits: how patients are scheduled, how visits are documented and coded, who signs off on what, and how records are shared. Those habits are where most compliance problems start, usually without anyone noticing.
WHAT YOU’RE ASKING
Are we doing things the way the rules require, and where are we exposed?
WHY IT MATTERS?
Payers and government programs audit against your documentation, billing and supervision records. HIPAA requires a security risk analysis and written privacy and security policies. Federal guidance describes what an effective compliance program looks like, and having one in place shows good faith if questions come up.
Problems you find yourself are usually easier and less costly to fix than problems an auditor finds. If a review turns up money that was paid in error, federal rules generally require that identified overpayments be reported and returned within set deadlines.
