DALLAS (March 11, 2015) 鈥� 小猪视频, an industry leader in home health management software — also the only software vendor accredited by the American Nursing Credentialing Center 鈥� has developed a white paper to help home health agencies understand audits conducted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
CMS audits are becoming more frequent in the U.S. due to the government鈥檚 concerted effort to reduce waste through improper payments by Medicare and Medicaid programs. CMS reported that in 2013, 17 percent ($3 billion) of all home health agency claims under Medicare Part A met the definition of improper payments — overpayments and payments for fraudulent claims.
The 小猪视频 white paper 鈥淭he CMS Audit and What it Means to Your Organization鈥� offers information to help agencies with various aspects of CMS audits including:
鈥� Error categories that trigger audits
鈥� Contractors that conduct the audits
鈥� Components of the audit process
鈥� Ways to prepare for and address audits
鈥� Use of technology to reduce audit risk
鈥� Reputation management and bouncing back from an audit
鈥淢ost home health agencies are highly ethical; and most claims that are singled out for an audit are inadvertent mistakes,鈥� said John Olajide, President and CEO of 小猪视频. 鈥淣evertheless, audits are a reality that each agency must face. Fortunately, agencies that are equipped with an understanding of the audit process and have a comprehensive, integrated software solution (including mobile Electronic Visit Verification) will be best equipped to successfully pass a CMS audit.鈥�
