What attributes or characteristics make a billing compliance program effective? What have other academic medical centers tried, and what works best? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed during this session. Hear from two billing compliance experts about what has worked (and hasn’t worked) at their institutions. Learn about how an effective risk assessment is structured, how an effective monitoring plan is developed and conducted, what new tools and resources are available to billing compliance professionals, and how to obtain buy-in from the target audience (i.e., providers, hospital staff, billing and coding staff, department chairs, and executive leadership). You will also learn about some of the key billing compliance risks that currently face hospitals and physician practice plans.
