Medical Group Management Association Louisiana Pre-Conference Workshop ICD-10 Coding Boot Camp Speaker: Kim the Coder - Kim Huey, MJ, CHC, CPC, CCS-P, PCS, CPO August 17, 2016 1-5pm @ Roosevelt Hotel Registration Fee: $100/person $25 discount with full conference registration Compliance Issues in Small Physician Practices Small physician practices often become so caught up in the day-to-day functions that they do not have the time - or the resources - to guard against compliance issues. Beyond the coding issues are a whole range of other compliance considerations such as HIPAA, Stark and Anti-Kickback, Exclusions. This session covers common areas that small physician practices may neglect and suggests ways in which the practice can protect itself. Designing and Implementing a Physician Auditing Program Physician practices often know they need to audit but just don't know where to start. This session focuses on understanding and communicating the need for auditing in physician practices - not just coding and billing but also HIPAA, exclusions, physician relationships, employment policies, and more. We will share tools for establishing policies and procedure for auditing and monitoring. We will focus on tips for communicating audit results and effecting change.
