Getting selected for an audit has significant ramifications, including the need to devote resources to responding to and dealing with the results. Post-payment reviews, such as Unified Program Integrity Contractor (UPIC) audits, can put $100,000 on the line, potentially reaching into the millions. Providers must be aware of risk factors and trends in agency documentation that may prompt review or denial. It is crucial to reduce risk continuously and respond assertively to reviews. The Medicare Review Choice Demonstration (RCD) does not protect agencies from UPIC activity, and audits clearly show the provisional nature of pre-claim review affirmations.

This presentation is based on 25 years of experience assisting agencies with medical reviews, as well as current UPIC audit trends."   Read more
