"We registered for the NAMAS 2021 Virtual Conference for the topics that are relevant for our organization:

E&M new guidelines – looking for guidance on auditing under the new guidelines.
Incident to – always a difficult area to audit and provide education to the practice/providers so looking for as much guidance as possible.
Telehealth services – going to be a high target area for auditing so want the latest, greatest information on this topic.
In addition, it was cost-effective for all the auditors to attend vs. only be able to send 1 to a 2-3 day conference."

Policies are more than just words on a paper and in order to demonstrate a “Culture of Compliance” they have to be effective and actionable and that includes “Escalation Policies”, which are used within an organization to highlight any issues that need correcting. In relation to coding, an initial audit is performed to gauge the accuracy of providers. Those providers falling below the organization’s accuracy threshold, face consequences ranging from education and re-audit to pre-bill review of all of their claims. The idea is not punishment but to rectify coding/billing issues and protect the organization from False Claim Act allegations.
