Staying ahead of the CMS auditor: Why documentation in outpatient rehabilitation matters

The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) suspended audits between March and August of 2020 to allow providers to focus on providing care during COVID-19. But now, external audits in outpatient rehabilitation are ramping back up. Since the Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that 61% of 2018 claims did not comply with Medicare medical necessity, coding, or documentation, outpatient rehabilitation organizations may be targeted more than other settings of care.

During this webinar, rehabilitation business expert John Britt and experienced healthcare lawyer Kelly Custer will review the nuances that can trigger an external audit. Join us live to learn how proper documentation can minimize the chances of a CMS audit and to review the proper steps to follow during an audit.

  • Learn why proper documentation is critical for revenue integrity
  • Review what information auditors are looking for in your team’s documentation – from the referral to the discharge summary
  • Learn practical pointers that will protect your organization during an audit
