The Changing Audit Landscape

The rugged audit landscape has changed – and not for the better. Today, there are more potential pitfalls and traps to capture the unprepared and impact them with huge fines and possible incarceration. In fact, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has erected a legal fortress to protect their audit process. It’s not the same old ballgame – it’s a new one, with lots of new players. It’s also why the producers of Monitor Mondays have invited senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen to return to the broadcast to describe how you and your team can learn how to identify red flags in the process of fraud detection in order to avoid liability. The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features: • Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds. • The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors. • Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment. • Legislative Update: Adam Brenman, senior healthcare government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.
