The key components included expanding Medicaid eligibility, establishing health insurance exchanges, requiring insurers to cover essential health benefits, and offering subsidies to help individuals afford coverage. Another critical component of that Act was directed to healthcare providers. Unfortunately, when polled nearly 80% of small provider clinics were completely unaware that PPACA made Office Compliance Programs mandatory for all physician practices as a condition of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, and/or CHIP.

In today’s regulatory environment, even seemingly minor coding errors can be flagged as fraud or abuse by government and private payers, leading to audits, penalties, and costly recoupments. With clear guidelines and educational resources readily available, repeated mistakes are no longer excusable. This webinar will explore how proactive auditing can help you identify and correct coding issues before they attract unwanted attention. You’ll learn to recognize common red flags, implement effective monitoring strategies, and strengthen your revenue cycle management to protect your practice from compliance risks.

Join us for a transformative seminar session that will revolutionize your practice's compliant financial processes, one of the three areas that the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has urged practices to focus on. Whether you operate on a cash-based model or engage in 3rd party billing, these rules apply to you. Just as a tall building requires a strong and deep foundation, your practice's success relies on a solid compliance framework. Without it, the consequences can be devastating, exposing the practice to unnecessary risk.
