The way you do business makes a difference. Not only do our patients pay attention, but when you accept payment from an outside payer, then you need to make sure that you are following all of their rules. Whether interacting with a private insurance company or a government agency, it pays off to do things the right way. But that is not always possible, and sometimes people make mistakes; knowing where to turn during a government investigation can make a huge impact on your outcome.

If you have recently been contacted by a payer in regard to accurate claims, or if a government agency is looking deeper into your billing or paid claims, talk to our team about your next steps.

Are You Performing Exclusion Database Checks On Time?
When you walk into work in the morning, you want to know that you can trust the people around you. Government agencies want to know that as well, and one of the tools that they have at their disposal is an exclusion database check. These help providers to know which people and entities are barred from participating in a government program’s activity. In order to prevent fraud and abuse, these databases provide essential information for employers.
As a medical professional, you need to perform exclusion database checks monthly. This is for your benefit, as there are stiff penalties associated with hiring an excluded provider. A provider may end up on some databases for defaulting or late student loan payments, not just fraud or physical abuse. If you are found to be working with a person or organization that has been placed on an exclusion database list, you could experience a fine of up to $10,000 per day and potential denial of claims if that person was involved in the claims process.
